Does the t.bone SC400 mic suite well\at all for recording guitars? I mean micing the amp with it.. The guitars would be very distroted metal guitars to be laid down. I Understand the mic would duit very well for acoustic instruments and vocals but could this help me out with all my recordings in my home studio.. Anyone using or tried this mic in the past?

yeah i own one - traditionaly one tends to use dynamic mic's on guitar cabs, but that's not in any way a rule, condenser mic's also do the job.... The old sm57 type of mic has a limited bandwidth or rather a bandwidth emphasis that kinda suits guitar cab mic-ing... However you can of course use condenser's.. um... well i never tried it on a cab tbh. There's a demo on our site of vocal done with it:

SC400 Audio demo

y'know, it's nothing amazing, but sound not bad at all in the price territory it lives in (40 quid!) - as for the cab mic-ing, well it will pickup all the nuances of the cabinet tone ok. I could try it on a marshall 4x12, but there's no way I could do that this week, thing is, if you're ging for a hardcore type of contemporary metal sound you want a 'scoop' mid sound, so any midrange emphasis a dynamic might give isn't going to be important, the SC400 is fairly flat across the freq range & should capture the cab ok - certainly it's damned Ok for 40 quid! - One thing... a mic like the sc400 requires phantom power. - mebbe also look at the SC450, a tad more expensive at around 65 quid, but a bit better no doubt
