yeah it'll take the SPL with no problem. if you're REALLY freaked out about air coming from the cabinet's speakers (happens more with bass amps than guitar amps), angle it a little to the side or down.

for REALLY close mic'ing with the R84, i find myself rolling off a lot of the bass knob on whatever amp i'm using. very strong and sometimes overly boomy low-end when that mic is close up to anything that is semi-loud.
