Re: [Harp-L] micing amp

["Splash!" <celtiac@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd prefer the 57 and you can only mic one speaker.  Aim the mic about 
half-way from the center of the speaker to the outer edge of the cone.  If 
you want to get really picky, place the mic as far away from the OT as 
possible to minimize inductive reactance.  For example, on a tweed Bassman 
looking at the amp from the audience, lower right speaker toward the lower 
right corner.  OT is on the chassis (of course) a bit to the left.
