In spite of the SM57’s ubiquity for recording electric guitars, I like to tell people to check out it’s slightly larger cousin, the SM7b. You’ve probably seen this mic on live performance videos or sitting in front of a radio personality. It’s known more as a vocal/voiceover microphone, but I love it for electric guitars. It’s no slouch on snare drum, kick drum, and in a pinch I’ve even record a whole drum kit and acoustic stringed instruments with mine!

If I could only have one dynamic microphone in my arsenal, this one would be it.

The interesting thing is, I’ve never done a direct comparison between the SM57 and the SM7b. I mean, sometimes we gotta challenge our assumptions, right? So I made a short song and recorded a set of doubled guitar tracks with both mics…and I made it all into a video so that you can hear the difference. I found it pretty interesting!
