by the way, i still use mics for guitar tones almost all the time...
it just so happens, that on this particular song, i used ONLY the
Palmer PDI-09 for all of the electrics.
i wanted a super dry, in your face tone...
and any room effects, were added in the mix.
other songs on the album feature either all mics, or
combinations of the palmer and mic/room mic, which is my favorite way to use it:
palmer for main signal, room mic/distance mic on the amp.
that's one of the reasons i posted this particular one, to let anyone who is interested in hearing one of these devices used in an actual recording, check out what it can sound like.
