Recording Distorted Guitar

Hey it's me again. Anyways I was recording the distorted guitar parts for my friend's band and I couldn't seem to get it to sound right. It sounds too distorted and like there is too much high frequency. The mic is placed about an inch away from the amp, I'm using an Audix dynamic mic to record. We are using a metal zone but the distortion is turned down almost all the way.

Are there any good and accurate monitors under $500.00?

Or under 1000.00 for that matter. I use a set of Alesis M1 Actives at work and I like them. They are not the most accurate I have heard though. Does anyone know of some that are smaller that are at least as accurate? The M1s run about 399 a pair. If I could find a used pair of anything cheaper than this, it would be great.

Avantone CU-2?

I know, I know, you supposedly CANT get quality recordings out of USB microphones.

BUT, I have heard AMAZING things about this microphone, and its abilities as a USB microphone as far as quality goes; comparable to non-USB mics well above its price range of only $199.

Supposedly you can record at a lot higher of a quality level than ever before through a USB microphone.
