I like that machine, and it is indeed handy to have the option of recording with both the onboard mics and whatever mic you choose, and compare them later....

I've successfully used a Rode NT4 with the H4...

For binaural, I've used one of these...
Kinda fun...

Will be in SoCal for NAMM later this month if anyone wants to have a go at this thing....
Thanks all...

Now I just need a 4038 haha. Nah... I'd try any ribbon. You just want the well-placed figure-8 null. I've also had good luck with Beyer ribbons (M260, M500, M160) mic'ing the kit from the side, with their ass-end pointed at the two amps in the room... So where do you have the guitar amps?
