Hi all,

I would like to mic up my amplifier in order to record, but know
nothing about microphones. Can someone please point me towards the
right product, dont want to spend any more than I have to in order to
capture the sound of the amp,

If you only want to buy one microphone at this point and you don't want
to spend a lot, a Shure SM-57 is the way to go. It's still used
extensively at the biggest studios. You can probably pick one up used
for $50-60 US. I use nothing but 57s to record amplified guitar.
