Mid-range is best with it too.
That's because it was probably placed the best for where an SM57 typically likes to be placed. All of them sounded too far out towards the edge of the cone, especially the ribbons.

I also have to second the sentiment that the Royer demo CD clips for guitar are not as stellar as some of their other clips.

If anyone wants to hear what the R121 sounds like on a Fender combo with a Fender guitar listen to the track called "Drawbridge" by my band. The main guitar is a Strat into a blackface Princeton with an R121 through an ME1NV. The placement was dead center about 8-10 inches away. The other electric later in the song is a Tele Deluxe through a Dual Showman and 2x12 cab. It was R121, likely through a Pacifica.
