In this video, Sound Pure Pro Audio specialist Marc Kuzio provides tips on using mic placement as a form of EQ for both electric and acoustic guitar. Plugin and hardware EQs are great tools to have for tone sculpting, but there's no replacement to actually taking the time to get your mic placement right at the source to get the electric or acoustic guitar tone you want. Microphone placement can have a dramatic effect on EQ, and this video will help give you the basics to do some experimenting on your own.
