Hi,

there's nothing wrong with recording a guitar amp with a dynamic mic,
since the amp is loud and the frequency range is very limited for e.g.
much used Celestions from 75 Hz to 5000 Hz,
http://celestion.com/product/13/celestion_blue/ ,
http://celestion.com/product/24/heritage_series_g12m/ . It's reasonable
to record guitar amps with a dynamic mic. In regards to "trusty" I was
thinking about testing the quality of the audio interface's preamps and
other components of the interface. Good guitar amp recordings don't
require very good equipment. Usually you get good results with less
good equipment. Usually you get the response characteristic by taking
care of the mic position and even positioning the mic somewhere infront
of a speaker isn't tricky. The characteristics of the mic and the
interface's preamps etc. are less important when recording guitar amps.

Regards,
Ralf
