Sennheiser e906 Super-Cardioid Guitar Microphone

The flat profile sits perfectly against my amp grill, and the super-cardioid pattern really locks onto the speaker instead of picking up the whole room. Fast attack on my palm-muted riffs is exactly what I was after, and it handled horns in a quick session without getting harsh.

I was blown away by how quickly this mic captures the punchy attack from my amp—it really brings out the liveliness in the sound without any muddiness.

The flat shape makes it so easy to slip into tight spaces behind my amp, and the sound is incredibly full with a fast attack that cuts through the mix perfectly.
