Micstand
SM57 A soundproof box is something I think is good. My mic sessions are almost always ruined becuase
Should be fairly easy to build. Thomann.de has their t.bone SM57 clone. I think these things would fit http://www.thomann.de/se/the_tbone_mikrohalterung.htm http://www.thomann.de/se/millenium_ms2002.htm http://www.thomann.de/se/the_tbone_mb75.htm http://www.thomann.de/se/the_sssnake_sk233-10.htm (XLR) or the version with 1/4" plug depending on your soundinterface (http://www.thomann.de/se/the_sssnake_smp10bk_mikrofonkabel.htm) I think that would get you quite far on a budget. I have a Shure SM57 but that will cost you more, and I don' tknow how well the t.bone clone will do. -------------------- My bands homepage

For recording electric guitars the SM 57 is definitely the perfect choice. About positioning the mic, you should test several different positions, you will see that even slight changes of the mics position can make HUGE differences in the sound, so you should experiment a bit. Place the mic in from of a speaker and record a bit, then move it slightly and record again, like this you can compare the results and find the position that gives you the sound that you are aiming at.

I don't know if the Shure SM57 comes with the mic holder or not
another idea with the soundbox, besides playing loud, is to keep distubances out and not have tv, kids, dogs and cell phones recorded  A closet should work well too -------------------- My bands homepage

My vote also on SM57, it is the perfect choice for guitar amp recordings. As Marcus said, test it from several different positions and see what works best. Have in mind that the room has to be somewhat acoustically treated, and if not, try to cover the amp with a blanket or circle the gear with some paddings. This will help to get as dry signal as possible. If you experiment in one space, in other space the sound will be completely different, so a bit experimenting in the start (although it is boring) will mean a lot in a long run.

I must agree with everyone else , Mic SM57 is a standard !! Also soundproof box is pretty necessary to get good recordings.
