Could well be. The downsides are it's a tad noisy and also tends to lack
bass/too bright; my Jackson sounds downright brittle with no eq, but the
strat with a duncan is just right. A right cab also makes a big difference;
my 4x10" is too thin sounding with it (lack of power).

I'm getting a wah pedal - It'll double as a tone adjuster when playing the
Jackson, which has no tone pots whatsoever.

But certainly, at about 150, it's one of the best pieces of equipment I've
bought! Nothing else I've tried has that AC/DC remiscent tight sparkle even
at low volumes. And believe me, I can't get the sound I hear onto tape, it's
REALLY good live, the recored sound somehow sounds too driven. I had to back
off the mike to 3 feet before it was even something like what you hear live.
I gotta try with a 57 or some other more traditional cabinet mike soon, this
mike is too hi-fi.
