what mic are you using to mic your small combo amp?

AKG D1000E

I use it regardless of amp size or configuration.

Usually I'll mic a combo from the front but sometimes the acoustics at a particular venue favor positioning it at the rear.

They're good mics but that price is nothing to write home about.

I've seen SM57's around for $48-$50.

I've used different types in different situations, but I always come back to my personal gold standard, the Shure SM57...just can't be beat!

For an amp mic I use an old Shure PE 588 and for vocals I use a Peavey PVM 38,it's about 20 yrs old but still is as clear as it was when new and like all Peavey gear you could drive nails with it.

GLS ES-57. It's a Shure SM-57 clone, and a darned good one at that.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

I agree with these choices, but leaning towards more for the Sennheiser e609. To me, the Senn e609 sounds more like the old SM57 that was made in the USA. The newer SM57 is not as warm sounding as the older ones. Senn e609 are made in Germany, and they take great pride with the stuff they make IMHO.

We use 2 609es and 1 906e. These ought to be the new standard, the 609. Great mics.
