SM57 LC : Great multi purpose microphpone

I use this microphone mainly for recording guitar amps in my home studio. I already had one and I bought another for a larger session I was doing. These microphones are perfect for recording loud instruments/amplifiers/snare drums, the build quality is superb. I was originally using a low cost dynamic microphone for recording and when I got this I was delighted with the difference, it can handle very high volumes, I used it as a snare mic on a drum session I was recording and it got knocked around a fair bit during the course of the day and was still completely intact. There is a reason why this is the most popular dynamic instrument microphone in the world and it all comes down to the great sound, the superb build quality and fantastic value for money!
