Welcome to a quick Electric Guitar Recording Article
Dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics all work extremely well for miking an amp, but before placing a mic, locating the speaker in a cabinet with a fixed grille is essential. Shining a flashlight at an angle while looking through the cloth will give you a good idea of where the speaker resides. Then, a small piece of white studio console tape can be put on the cloth at the center speaker position to keep the mic angle and location in the proper perspective.
The center of the speaker is not necessarily the best place to orient the mic; instead, place it closer to where the center dome (dust cone) meets the outer cone. For further tonal variations, the mic can be turned off-axis from center or can be moved further away from center, toward the outer edge of the speaker. Using the combination of a dynamic mic and a condenser can give you more tonal fodder for the mix. They each impart their own tone, depending on the source. This setup can be used on one speaker or on a second speaker if available, and then mixed to one track or kept separate. Be sure to keep the mics equidistant from the source for the best phase coherence.
