Hello folks -
My wife and son bought me a MD 421 for my birthday because I expressed admiration for the clean guitar tones on my son's latest mixes. He blended two tracks, the 421 on one cab and a Royer 121 on a different amp, different cab. I've always liked how the 421 sounds but never used one.
He told me how he miked his cab with it: a few inches away from the grill, 45 degree angle aimed at dead center of the speaker. I dunno if that's ideal... I think if I did that with a 57 it wouldn't sound too good, but obviously this is not a 57. And I am not blending this with a Royer.
I'm gonna mess with this thing tomorrow and I'm curious how others do it. How do you guys like to position this mic on a guitar cab, solo, no other mics?
