I've ran across the Shure SM57. Not sure I want to spend that much. Are there others that are just as good but different brands? Or is a good mic 'critical'?

The result was less than ideal. I'm sure it's my lack of knowledge on how to get the most out of my equipment. I found the volume to be very low on the recording and rather thin...
I placed my mic about 4 inches from the amp. I would think that should be close enough. I'm sure I need to figuring out which model of mic settings to use in my PODx3 will definitly help.
