Hey everyone! I'm getting ready to record some tracks at home and I could use a bit of guidance. I’ve got a decent interface and decent mics, but I’m not quite sure about the best way to set everything up for my electric guitar. Should I mic my amp, or is it better to go DI? Also, what kind of settings do you use on your amp or pedals before recording? Any tips on getting that polished sound would be really appreciated. Cheers!

Hey Daniel! I usually prefer miking my amp for that authentic sound, but it really depends on your style. If you’re going for something more polished, a DI can work wonders too. Good luck with your recording!
