Those will take high SPLs, though you may have to pad the preamp.

Didn't have any luck with the U87 on gtr cabs... Each time it sounded odd and phasey. However we did have it up close with no problem. i think you'll need to put it back a bit to lessen proximity effect.

If you find it too bright or picks up too much detal I'm sure it would work well as a compressed room mic supplementing the "usual suspects". (if the room sounds nice!)
