I've been wanting to record heavy guitar with a Large diaphram condensor, but I can't because I record in my living room. When ever I try to use a LDC it picks up too much other crap like cars going by on the street, my leaking faucet, my roomate walking by ect.

I've used it on both clean guitar and very distorted "Incubus type" guitar, I like the way it sounds on both.

I really like how the 103 picks up more of the mids/highs the 421 will give more bottom end... I put the 103 closer to the center of the cone where the highs will be more predominate and the 421/57 close to the edge making sure that both are the same distance from the front grill, about 2-3".
