Just realized I was miking the amp wrong for 6 years
Been recording my practice space demos since 2018 and always put the mic dead center on the speaker cone. Heard a mix from a buddy's tape and my guitar sounded thin as hell compared to his. Moved the SM57 off axis toward the edge of the cone and it's like a whole different rig. Anyone else have a dumb recording habit they stuck with way too long?

The off axis thing is real but nobody talks about how far back the mic sits either. I had mine practically touching the grille for years, moved it back about 4 inches and the low end finally filled out instead of sounding boxy. Your buddy's tape probably had that going on too, since it's the same deal where a small change fixes a problem you didn't even know you had.
