Re: Recomend me a mic for my cab!
It just takes practice. Just because someone has the tools don't mean that they have the knowledge to use them!
It's really all a matter of experimentation and tweaking until you get it right. You may not always get it right the first time, and you may have to heckle with it quite a bit, but it's all part of it.
The one thing I recommend is dialing in more mids on the amp in order to compensate the mic not having a lot of mids. The SM57 tends to be quite a bit top-endy, depending on the placement, but can sometimes help bring some clarity of the guitar tone. Typically you'll want to place it between the center and the outside of the speaker cone to create a balanced sound, and then dialing the amp to what it needs.
Good luck! :smokin:

Good choice; I use for many applications. I added a audio techica 650, which is similar to the 57, but has enough interesting tonal differences to justify the addition. I put one straight on and the other on the edge of the cone. I know ppl use Royers or others but, I found good sounds with this mix.
