2Nd Hand Guitar Amps

Great for Guitar Amps

Great improvement over my standard SM57 on guitar amps.

I have ten of these permanently living on guitar amps at the studio. Perfect.

Liked the sound. Wanted the Marshall sound like guitar amps. Very nice sound.

I use the e609 for recording guitar amps and in isolation cabinets. An excellent choice.

Great for drum overheads and guitar amps. I'd highly recommend them if you are looking to get into ribbon microphones.

These mics give an incredible vibe and are very useful from guitar amps to drum overheads.

So far I have found this to be a good, versitile mic that works well with guitar amps. i haven't fully expirimented with the 5 rolloff settings, but have had the best results so far wiith the middle setting.

If you don't already know about the 57, you are a serious novice. It's indestructible and sounds great on tons of things - I've used 57's for guitar amps, drums, vocals, and everything else. I had to get a second one because I want to use one on a guitar cab and another on a snare drum at the same time. I've used and abused the heck out of my old one, which is still going strong after about 8 years. The 57 is ideally for close micing loud sources, but can be used for anything if it sounds good to you.

I bought this mic to record electric guitar and it works exceedingly well for that purpose in both clean channel and overdrive. The mic is a dynamic that works best with pre-amps that have a normal 1.5K to 2K input impedance which makes it useful with a wide array of modern audio equipment. (I also use a Shure SM57 and a Shure SM7B for electric guitar and they work best with pre-amps that offer a lower input impedance such as 500 ohms.) The sonic characteristic of the Heil PR20 sits between the SM57 and the SM7B. The Heil has a rich low end, a slightly forward mid range and a very smooth top end.
