Hi Philly5834 - when I do guitar/vocal stuff through my AER Alpha, I use a boom mic stand with a very ordinary Shure SM58 plugged via XLR lead into the XLR input on the amp for the vocal, and the guitar plugged into the instrument channel with jack lead. I usually mount the amp on a boom stand with the boom removed, and have the amp a couple of feet to my right and slightly in front of me, roughly waist height or slightly higher. If it's a very quiet venue, it works really well with the amp four feet or so directly in front of me at about waist height, and then use just one mic (I use an ATM 33a into the XLR channel) to pick up voice and guitar - gives a very natural sound in the right venue.
Hope this is helpful,
Keith
