Has anyone tried recording one of these beasts through a microphone?
Is there really a difference?

Yes--although with mine I only have a small solid state monitor amp and
a very-crapped-out Warfdale (which Martin tells me is
somewhere in the Peaks District--they grow on trees found only there),
so I've run it through a Marshall stack and have gotten
pretty close to an "Ian McD moment."

Rick (SFX 10030--Tubes? We don't need no stinking tubes!)

PS I've also gotten good results going directly into a good desk,
running the beast through a graphic EQ (rather than the usual
three bands on most mixing desk) and a good plate reverb. That's the way
we did the Devotion demo and I haven't heard much
to equal it...except about 9 or 10 other recordings...
