Hello all. I love my Risa stick soprano and have been using it plugged into my audio interface while using the guitar rig 5 demo as a virtual amp. I want more distortion available than that offered by the Fishman(though it is a phenomenal product for acoustic sound) and semi-decided to buy a Vox AC4 with the ten inch speaker as it can give a clean tone along with distorted sixties and seventies tones. I am currently saving for this and am thinking about microphones for use with this amp as that will be the following purchase.
Now I don't have a microphone for my audio interface, but only a usb Blue Yeti that won't record loud music like that from an amp as the gain is not adjustable. This puts me in the market for a microphone that I can use with my interface that will work with a loud amp if I turn it up for distortion or overdrive.
I have read great things about both the mics I am interested in, the Shure SM57 dynamic and the Blue Bluebird condenser mic. I know I will be happy with the Bluebird, but it costs triple what the dynamic mic option. I will be getting the Bluebird eventually but still have interest in the SM57. It would get me started much quicker getting the cheaper microphone but will the quality be articulate/full/satisfying?
My main question is: Should I even be bothering to think about the SM57? Does anyone have any videos or experience with this mic when used with an electric uke and this microphone?
thanks in advance for all input.
