Re: Microphone choices


Phil, I've posted this before, I really like the Shure Beta 57A for a true ALL 'ROUND mic. The frequency range is a bit gereater than the SM57 and it does vocals better. So if you want to get just one mic that can truely do it all, check into the Beta 57A...in the US they retail around $125-130 USD.

Re: Microphone choices


The best sounding mics in front of a loud guitar amp are the

sennheiser 421
shure 57

Some ribbons sound nice also. I avoid condensers in front of a loud guitar amp like the monkey plague.
