Best Cheap mics for recording

[ClintN667]

Hey guys,
I've bought several sm57's that collected dust then I sold them. Can you guys recommend some relatively cheap mics for recording a cab? I may just stick with another sm57 but would like to try something else without spending a huge chunk.

The CAD TSM411 is my SM57 killer mic. I love it on snare drum more than a 57. It's a cheap 57 equivalent. Some Audix mics work good on a cab, but at that rate, you're better off with a SM57. Really, I think the only answer here is a 57.

I like the audix D2 for guitars regardless of price.

I found a D3 in a store on clearance a while back. It's been discontinued. That's my favorite of the bunch for guitar cabs.

Agreed.

Also, nothing wrong with a good old 57. Standard for a reason.

That one i don’t have, I have the 2,4 and 6 for my drums. The 4 is cool too

I did this comparison a while back that might help
