As always, my recommendation is the Shure SM58 mic and the M-AUDIO Fast Track Pro Interface.

The answer is yes, you plug the guitar to the first and then the interface from the last pedal. Headphones on the interface.

As you are also buying the pedals, my suggestion is the fast track pro. The ux2 is nice as it has their own effects software but you will not get the same quality as you get from the pedals.

Does you wife has a sister??

Try looking at the VOX Tonelab ST. I have one and is great.

I have a Line6 amp but I agree with guitarplayr82 as the effects must be looked into a good pedal rather than the amp. One con of the line6 is that it forgets the settings you have after you turn off the amp. I recently bought a VOX AC30 Black Comet and that one really rocks!!

Both, the SM57 for the guitar plus the SM58 for voice will work great.

I just love mine; Product: US-1800 | TASCAM for a nice $280 price.

Hello, This is the best I can recommend to you, Blackstar Amplification - HT-DUAL guitar pedal check out this review Review: Blackstar HT-Dual Distortion - Premier Guitar No other pedal like this to get what you want.

Hello, The Audacity software (free) Audacity: Download and a mic like this (used) OSP CU-2 USB CONDENSER STUDIO MICROPHONE PC/MC With Cradle and Tripod | eBay must be enough for what you need.

Download Audacity as is for free and is a very nice entry level DAW, plus look into e-bay or so for a used m-audio fast track or tascam us122 or grab a used USB microphone which will not sound as good as an interface but will fit into your budget.

The needs in terms of how many things you need to connect must be more important parameter than the price, but take a look at this one. Amazon.com: Soundcraft GB2 16 Channel Live and Recording Mixer: Musical Instruments
