| When you say heavy rhythms, do you mean heavy palm mute METAL?
If you have not tried the E/V ND468 on the dynamic moving coil side, I would urge you to check it out. For heavy metal guitar stuff I typically do not reach for a ribbon mic as there just isn't room in the mix to fit it in...in the mix is what matters!
The 468 I just love on guitars, it has cut without being harsh, full mids with great detail to them, and the low end is VERY proximity dependent. In other words, playing around with moving it back and forth just a bit is like EQ'ing out the flub on the bottom...very coherent sound and focused (and the pattern is among the tightest I've ever heard if not the tightest).
I cannot stand the M160 on guitar cabs but that's just me I guess.
