Sorry, but a single mic is just not gonna work.mgood wrote:Gonna have to mic it. I'm thinking a Shure SM57 as the fallback mic when you don't know what else to use. But a Sennheiser 421 might be cool on there. Gotta go through a mixing board or something as a preamp and then come out 1/4" to the guitar rig.TxKimberMan wrote:I'm sure it was even cooler at 2:30amAndyC wrote: (I'd given it a bit of a modern kick by putting it through my guitar-amp so I could use the distortion-effect - pretty cool, huh?).
That's an interesting rig you have, and this guitar-addicted inquiring mind would like to know how you interface bagpipes with a distortion pedal/amp? Do you have a 1/4" output jack on your bagpipes?
That just HAS to sound pretty cool!
A warning for the kids reading this: stay away from guitars, they're more addictive than guns.

The dulcet tones on a bagpipe come from the chanter. You need a pick at the end of it for absolute clarity. Each of the drones needs its own pickup or you loose the effect after 50 feet. How about a Marshall full stack for each one.
