Yes, micing a guitar amp into another w/ a hi-Z Unidyne was the Holy Grail.

Last weekend I used a transformerless Shure 565 on snare bottom, got exactly what I wanted. "Come... do not be afraid of my power."

when you discover that you've got a microphone you NEVER use - THAT is when you have too many.

Nope, that's when it's time to sell that mic to help fund a different one! (or make another into a pair)
