That's different. Electronic music has to be amplified. However, would
you mic a guitar amp and pipe it through a PA?


Most recordings are made by plugging the guitar directly into the mixing
console. However I'm quite sure that there are exceptions whereby the
guitar amp itself (necessary for the musicians to HEAR themselves) is
miked acoustically, but that doesn't seem to be the norm.
