So I just seen this new (new to me, I think it was said to be a new product though) MXL Guitar Cube Pro microphone. Supposed to be made specifically for electric guitar recording/use. Anyone used it yet or have any thoughts or know anything of it? I like the Shure SM57 but always looking for new mics. After I choose and find a good versatile pre amp.... (grr lol) I might get this just to try it out.
Any thoughts?
