@Dean Roddey: I discovered dynamic omnis (EV 635a & RFT DM622) for gtr. amps a while back.
It takes some trial-and-error to get the distance right, especially with the whole band in the same room, but when you nail it, it's instant Rolling Stones.
The low end doesn't change as dramatically with distance as with cardioids, so you can use distance to taylor the bleed/ambience to your liking. And the ambience, along with the slightly band-passed tone, really adds size to the guitars.
