That setup sounds very good to me!
 Though if you plan to use sm57 only for home recording I suggest maybe trying first tone ports software..Because mic-ing amps can be difficult..You would need a quiet place , possibly some of pillows around the amp and mic which has to be on a stand.. Though If you plan to use that mic for gigs too than you should buy it straight away!

It is a great setup, buy it. SM57 is a great mic, I'm planning to get one soon too. Micing your amp is the best way to get a good dynamic signal. You can use the 57 for other purposes too, like singing ro micing on gigs.
BUT be aware that micing your amp isn't always what you want, even if you have a great amp. Sometimes you'll want a different sound, and then there is no point micing the amp, you can go directly into gearbox. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Shure SM57 definitely is a great mic, good for pretty much anything, micing a snare drum, guitar cabs etc. It's pretty much an industry standard, practically every studio has one or usually many 57's
 So yeah, if you have a good amp and know the basics of micing an amp, that's a very good setup

I have a dumped question. How to connect the SM57 for recording purpose? What kind of cord do I need? Does the cord comes with a SM57 package?

Hi SensE,
To connect an SM57 you'll need a microphone cable with an XLR female at the mic end. The other end can be any of many things depending on what you connect the mic to. You'd connect to most, but not all, preamps/mixing consoles etc via an XLR male. So in this case you need an XLR to XLR (female male) cable. An XLR btw is a three pin connector. There are a few instances where you might need an XLR to Jack or mini jack or speakon- so check you connections just to make sure before you buy .Long time since I bought an SM but I don't remember it coming with a cable.

I don't think it comes with cable but just check to what you will be connecting it and buy appropriate cable..One the mic side there is always a xlr female jack just check the device you will be connecting to...I'm sure they will have the appropriate cable in the store where you buy your mic and it shouldn't be expensive..

The best is to use some Klotz xlr microphone cables, not too expensive and quality made.
