Since people are asking...
I did some testing of this mic and even some comparison recording with other mics.
Here are a couple of clips..if anyone is intersted in hearing more of it, i'll come up with others:
This one is into a valve junior and two 12 inch jensen speakers...mic'd in the room with a studio condenser mic.

Here's one using the amp attenuated via a DI box straight into my PA system..again mic'd in the room with a studio mic.

here's one of the mic alone, direct into my digital workstation..no amp or effects at all. Really, if you want to know the mic potential, this one is probably the starting point you should use...no EQ, no room effect, no added effects or mastering kit. Just a simple one track recording with the jam track recorded on two other tracks first. this one shows the mic in it's raw form. the rest is you.

Here's one with three different mics..first in each series is a samson vocal mic i use often to sing and play into..the second one is a homemade mic i made from a CB mic element and an ibuprofen bottle...the third is the Jt30 roadhouse. All are straight in with no eq or effects..digital boss br1180cd recorder.
