I know you get great tone when u mic an amp, but where do u mic it? Anywhere I try, close centered, close side, far side, far centered... I jsut can't get a good sound from micing it.

also what is an appropriate amount of distortion for recording? I still want that "Heavy, scooped Mids" sound, but then my solos suffer.

I use delay a lot in my solos, and when i mic the amp it sounds terrible, the little delays sound like white noise.
(When I go direct its not a problem)

Is there a certain way your supposed to have ur effects setup for recording?
