Micing an electric guitar amp using an SM58
Ok, so, I'm attempting to record some guitar tracks onto a Zoom H4 4 track recorder. The recorder has 2 mic inputs. I have 1, possibly 2 sm58s available to me, and I just took the capsule off the mic, and placed it on an angle facing the amp. The recorder also has 2 built in condenser mic's in an XY pattern, if that would be better.

Guitar Amp Speaker
Hey, this isn't exactly a recording question but how do you go about changing a blown speaker from an amp? I have an old Carvin amp and I wanted to put an Eminence speaker in there. The amp says 100 Watts on it, but I dont know if thats RMS or Peak, and even if I knew, Im not sure what the rules are. Will a 75W RMS, 150W Peak speaker work on this? Thanks.

best tube amp for recording metal?
i record melodic death metal and i need a good amp. kinda similar to in flames colony-clayman era (and somewhat their newest album), i think they use a peavey but I'm unsure of the model? like what sounds really clean, high gain, but not a dead mess of fuzz? (please dont say marshall..)

monitor amp... Bryston amp 2B or not 2B
OK, I'm finally in the market for a new monitor amp... or should I say, I'm in the market for a Bryston
Control room is 14'-9" x 21'-6" and the volume should be right at 3000 sq. ft.
Current monitors are University 12" dual concentrics, but could change any time to something else. Monitors will be soffit mounted.
Soooo, 4B, 3B, 2B, doo bee doo bee doo?

How does amp modeling work? (technical overview)
I was wondering how digital amp modelling works, ie. what is the process of creating POD/amplitube/guitar rig? Could anyone give me a technical overview of the subject?
Google wasn't giving me any useful information...It doesn't need to be detailed, just need
to know where to start.
Mic Preamp / power amp for use before guitar cabinet
say i have a solid state mic preamp like a trident, or Neve or something like that and a solid state power amp like a QSC rmx2450. or even for the preamp use of a 610. would that be acceptable and yeild good results for use as a guitar head before a cabinet.
Passive Monitors & amp recomendations - $800-1000 budget
OK, I'm selling off a 40's vintage Gibson Lap Steel and matching amp to invest in some decent studio monitors. I'm figuring I'll have in the ball park of $800 - $1000 dollars to spend.
