I am using an electric guitar and I am mic-ing the amp ro record both clean and distortion guitars. The distortion is good, but the clean doesn't have any depth. what are some good mics to use for such a purpose?

whats your budget?
For clean guitars, I like a U87, or a Sennheiser 421, or a small condensor even, like a Oktava MC012. Depends on the sound you want and your budget.

you can also stereo mic your cabinet and balance the two out until you get a sound you like. You should also experiment with mic placements as well, dont just throw up a mic and hit record.

This question will get you a dozen or so different responses, so be prepared.
You didn't state your budget, but a good mic for the price would be a Shure SM57 (actually, using 2 or 3 SM57's would be optimum).
The other thing that you could do is look to your upper-right for the word "search", click on it, and put in the words "recording guitar". You'll get tons of posts that discuss this subject.

AT 40/50 is a great mic for around 550.00. I use it with a 57 and they work well together on my rig, also very good on vocals too.
Ametth hit it on the head, fool with that mic/mic's it sure makes a difference.

My microphone of choice for electric guitars is a Beyerdynamic M422. It is also works great on snares. It cost less that $250.

If it's just for micing electric guitar through an amp, then i would recomend an AT4033, i don't think you would need the extras of the 4050.
I recomend this mic cause whenever i have used it or heard it on an amp it has sounded great. Also there are lots of great reviews on the mic, and esspecialy on guitar amps.
Good Luck!
