Paul -------- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. - Charlie Parker
Too much delay in the first - too much delay adds to the muddiness. If you were playing with other musicians with those settings you'd be totally lost in the mix. Delay and reverb have the effect of pushing things 'further back' in a mix - not, I'm sure, what you're striving for.
Delay and reverb should be very subtle.
And you're right, there's no sparkle in the sound at all.
Reducing the amount of delay will mean more headroom before feedback, so you put back some of the sparkle that you are e.q.ing out to stop the squeals
If the picture is how you're micing the amp - it also explains a lot of the muddiness. Never dangle a mic like that to mic a cabinet, unless it is designed with the capsule at right angles to the body. That SM57 picks up the best sound from the tip, so use a micstand to point it at the speaker - not touching, about an inch away (this will reduce the bass accentuating proximity effect) Using a stand will also allow more accurate positioning of the mic, about 2/3 out from the cone is a good compromise on a small speaker.
