I am very new to recording and was handed down from my brother a Shure SM-57, SM-58 and a Sennheiser e835.
Generally speaking, my understanding is the Sm-58 and e835 are vocal mics and Sm-57 is an instrument mic.
My newbie question is, what makes the 57 and instrument mic and not the 58? Can I get away with miking an electric guitar amp with an 58 or the e835?
Another newbie question is, will using a large diaphragm condenser mic such as a Rode NT-1A on miking an electric guitar amp a good idea or is the signal too strong for sensitive mics?
