Guitar cab mic shootout

What type and size you need, and where you should point it. Does a large diaphragm do a better job in preventing pregnancy than a small? WTF is phantom power and why do you need it? All these important questions and more, discussed within. Entendre at your own risk.

Which mic do you prefer?

Thanks dudes.

I like doing stuff like this from time to time because for me it reinforces my knowledge and experience base and that leads to quicker decisions. I don't have to try every mic on every speaker. If I can imagine the sound I want, I can choose the right guitar, amp, cab, speaker, mic, mic placement and get there without fucking around.

I can't really decide which one I like best. I like all of them in their own way....except for the ribbon. That's just nasty. But it sounds great mixed in with one of the other mics. I find myself using the 57 and 421 most often these days.
