I usually mic my cab with an SM57. Pre- March 2020 I was using a Marshall 1912 and the mic sat off centre, angled into the speaker.
Fast forward to this week past and I put the mic on the Marshall's replacement: a Mesa 2x12 3/4 back. In the room the cab is great, but through the IEMs it is WELL harsh. If the mic EQ is pretty much dropped to the floor above 5k, it's fine.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better position to get a sweeter sound out of what is - IMHO - a sweet sounding cab?
