Yes the IBP is great, got two of them, I think one of those should be in each channel of all mixing consoles. I use it for aligning different mics on the same cabinet and on OH mics. Also came in handy on the kick for the phase difference between the little speaker and the SM 91. Works wonders on acoustic guitar when you use more than one mic and all from the comfort of your control room.
Before I had the IBP, I would turn up the amp with no guitar connected so I could hear the white noise from the amp through the speakers. Then I listened with closed headphones, one mic in each ear (same level is important) and moved one of the mics a little bit at a time until the noise seemed to be in the middle.
In the early days, when I didn't know much about the importance of phase, we just put mics (sometimes 16 or more) in front (or behind) the speakers and moved them until it sounded good
