Hi,
I want to record electric guitar chord progression. I've an:
- epiphone les paul
- little amp, orange 30r
- maudio dmp 3 preamp
- shure 58a beta
- mic stand
What do you prefer, preamp of mic in front of amp?
I would not use a preamp, unless it's a tube preamp or you don't have
a mixing console
I have only an preamp maudio dmp 3. It also has two knobs/
functions
e.g, Hi/lo gain range and Low cut 75 Hz, dunno if I should use those...
I think you should use it, plugging directly is really, really a bad thing
to do... especially because your epiphone do mount humbuckers.
If you like jazzy sound probably you don't want to lose all those low freqs
using a straight low cut (they boost your hi freqs, don't forget that too).
According to your style and preferences in using the handle or bridge pickup
(I don't like middle position) I would use EQ instead of low cut, just be
careful with your amp eq and keep away rumbles.
BTW, as Arnold pointed out: try.
regards
