Mxl V57m

[69 SG]

I just had one of these delivered.
I bought it for recording Acoustic Guitar.
According to the brochure its good for everything.
I've got a good Vocal mic ElectroVoice PL95.
Now the question is whether or not to buy a Shure SM57
for micing my Guitar amp or use the MXL V57M.

Try the MXL out before you spend more money - if it works, there's no need to buy the 57

Buy the sm57. Every studio needs one and they never suck for cab recording. Not to mention you can generally resell it for 65-70% of it's original value.

According to the brochure its good for everything.

I always get a kick out of reading descriptions of mics in brochures, etc. A red flag usually goes up for me when they say: Sounds great on everything - drums, voice, acoustic guitar, bass cabs, horns, a jet engine, woodpeckers, God's anus, a flea circus, and so on...
