It sounds ok, it's a bit muddy though compared to an r121... but I think it's definitely useable.
It sounds nice on clean guitars but lacks the definition I think for heavily distorted ones.
I haven't done any processing so you guys'll get it as raw as it gets .
Any news yet? I'm very curious... I thought the RB500 sounded excellent on drum room mic, and OK but not too good (too boomy and muddy on the low end) on the guitar samples I heard, but yours may show a different side of the mics!
