Hello everyone!
We are starting to gig now, so we bought a 2500 watt Carvin PA system with a mixer board and 2 big towers. Sounds pretty nice with my brothers electronic drums hooked up. He also got the Carvin Drum mic kit... not the best but get the job done. I was in a weird mood and miced my earcandy cab with one of his snare mics and his condenser mic. Pretty cool, but I did some homework on micing an amp and I hear about mic pre amps? They are not cheap... are they totally necessary for micing my guitar? I have a full eq on my mixer with gain and stuff. I think it is there 16 channel board... I have to look at it. I plan on picking up a shure SM57 this weekend, and maybe a decent condeser mic for distance. Any input would be nice. Just want to get a handle on how to get good sounds so we don't look and sound like fools!
