Hi,

 

I'm looking for a microphone that is good for recording electric guitar and also speech and is also good value for money.

And all the other recording equipment (forget the name of the box thing eheh).

 

Thanks.

Budget? In theory you could get an SM57 and a half decent interface which will pretty much have you set for everything you want to do. I have an Audio Technica AT2020 and an SM57 and I would be happy to send you sound samples of both guitar and vocals

It does, but you play guitar with an amp. He'll have to spend money on a DAW/amp modelling software with this route. Better to just mic up the amp
