We recorded 3 tracks simultaneously with Jamie playing to our previous track. We discarded the SM57 because it sounded thinner than the Beta 52. The amp was fed by a split from a Behringer DI box which also fed the Avalon preamp mic input. The three tracks were time-aligned later.
Much upper mid presence, though this presence is slightly hard and cheap-sounding. Lacking stability in the bass frequencies. Very audible hum from the amp. Undesirable string noise stands out.
Solid sound with round warm bass. Has attack, without harshness. Maybe a little too much lower mids. Lacks upper mid presence which might be needed for some styles eg funk. Darker sound may sit well in a mix under other instruments.
Generally a nice compromise between the soft bass of the DI and the presence of the miked cabinet. The mic and DI signals perhaps sound a little separate still.
Mic and DI blend a little better. Notes sound much more even in volume compared to before, and some notes do not jump out anymore. More sustain, would probably sit much better in a mix. Attack is there but contained.
