I've heard some good things about the Heil PR30 mics on electric guitars. Does anyone have any experience with these mics? If so, what was your impression and did you get a chance to try them out on high gain guitars?
 
I've used the Heil PR30 and the PR40 with a VHT CL100 and a Bogner Uberschall. Both mics sounded great, kind of a cross between the lows/mids of an SM7 and the highs of a Sennheiser MD421. The PR30 has more midrange emphasis and the PR40 is more scooped sounding.

I think the PR30 is a great mic if you're going for a good high gain tone; it's really easy to get it sounding great.
 
Damn thats a fine sounding album! Love It! Not so much top end as most cds, dark like Resurrection (Chimaira) mastering eq. Sounds great! Eric Rachel on mix was it?
