I have to say that I agree with Godrich, to point a 57 into an amp and that's it. But you must have a great sound first. A 57 with a good API is enough to capture a great performance into a great sounding vox ac30 (recently did that!).
There's not to much science in that. I always struggled with mic positions and eq with cheap pre's and cheap amps and cheap guitars.
and Thom Yorke won't sound as pleasing in his records, if he was to record with my first mic and pre and lousy converters.

I'm sure they didn't use a sm58 into an m-audio for Exit Music for a Film, because it was the punk thing to do..
by the way, anyone know what was the vocal chain on that song?
and in Subterranean Homesick Alien?
(please don't tell me it's all Thom singing)
