This is the same SM57 I used in the chain—just a different purchase link. It’s my go-to when I want the cab to speak with that familiar edge and cut, especially for modern high gain tones like the EMPIRE.
Pros
- +Reliable, repeatable guitar cab mic
- +Helps guitars cut through dense high gain parts
Cons
- -Can be bright depending on placement
