There are a couple things to watch out for though. First off, you'll have to experiment with placement of the mic -- it attaches with velcro, and you have to place it just right so you don't pick up too much wind noise. Also, the mic is pretty sensitive, so it tends to pick up finger noise. Some friends of mine who have the same amp just plug in a vocal mic -- something like a Shure SM-58 or any one of the generic knock-offs that are available at a lower price point than Shure's products. I haven't really heard anything that sounded BAD, but it really comes down to the quality of your mic. I wouldn't expect great sound from a $5 Radio Shack mic, but you should be able to get something decent at a local Sam Ash, Guitar Center, or other local music store.
