Ribbon Mics

I don't think the idea of using a ribbon mic in a taping section would be that outlandish. I've seen both Coles and Beyer ribbons used to mic very loud guitar amplifiers with spectactual results.

I agree with you.  The newer ribbon microphones can definitely handle the higher SPLs.  I have read a whole bunch of articles about miking guitar amps with ribbon microphones.  A lot of engineers are swearing by it.  I'd love to get my hands on a coles or another royer again to try this out for an album I'll be working on in March.
