recording guitar with pro tools 002 rack

I'm building my studio around a Digidesign 002 pro tools rack, currently I have tried Micing my marshall avt150 with two mics, a Shure SM57 and an SM58 with some reverb on the amp, with it set on the second overdrive channel to get some majorly rocking distortion and routing each channel in pro tools via a bus with compression and delay plugins, then mixing the two mic inputs.

Stereo/Mono Guitar Rig Routing Question

I have a guitar rig that I use in various situations. It consists of a Pod Pro with a Lexicon MPX1 in the effects loop. I use this rig in both stereo and mono applications. It is set up for stereo, but I'd like a way to sum the outputs of the Pod for use in mono (into the pwr amp in of a tube combo). I'm hoping for some input on the following options:

Guitar miking

Hi,

Whenever I mike-up an acoustic guitar, it always seems to drown out all the other instruments and singers.

No matter how I adjust the equaliser settings for that channel, nothing seems to make a significant difference.

I'm sure someone will be able to help me with this!

GuitarFXprocessor vs. . GuitarQuality

Hi...
this is my first topic in this forum which seems very great!

Well, even if I know it's better to record guitars by mic-amp-mixer, in my homestudio it's easier to connect guitar-fxprocessor-mixer.

I would like to buy a new guitar fx processor (Pod or Behringer V-amp2) to improve the sounds of my guitars. Until now I've used an old model of Zoom.

Starting Recording Acoustic guitar and vocals

I have only recorded once before, with my uncle, who has a very nice home studio. I am vaguely familiar with the whole recording process, and I know some of the stuff involved (but not much).

For a school project, I want to analyze the recording process, mostly by recording.

My uncle suggested that I buy a Zoom MRS 8 and a microphone.
