I use them all the time. Standard at clubs out here for micing guitar cabs.
They're popular because they can take very high sound pressure levels and you can hang the mic by it's cable over the front of the amp. They reject sound from the sides and back ... which is a good thing in a 'live' situation. They don't sound too much different from a (good/real/not counterfeit) sm57 as they are both super cardioid mics. Placement is everything. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

This mic is sometimes used as an alternative to SM57, but as Kris said, most of the times is used combined with SM57 to get a different tone. Then, when mixing, you can combine both with different levels to get different natural Eqs. On professional recording SM57 is always the chosen one, and it's usually combined with different mics like E609, AKG421 and also any condenser mic. The condenser mic is usually used as a room but I've also used it in front of the amp.
My personal experience is that you end up using ALWAYS the SM57 take in the mix, and use the others to balance EQ, which is not a small thing on pro recordings. -------------------- My lessons
