The results are unbelievable! It took me a few tries to get the right mic placement. Once I found it, holy smokes! I can actually get a sound that's better than mic'd, through the pickup! And... with the Character setting, it can be adjusted for use on stage with a band.
Some tips:
1. Dynamic mics don't really work. I tried a very nice Sennheiser e935 that I already owned and it didn't do it. You'll need to invest in some type of condenser mic.
2. Buy good headphones. You'll need to be able to compare various mic placements in detail. Good sound isolation and flat frequency response (monitor headphones) are basically required.
3. Experiment with mic placement. Small changes make a big difference.

Did you use any sort of blend or was it all wavemap? I am finding that a full wavemap blend is thinning out my tone a bit. I am bringing in about 40% of the wavemap and it's working out nicely.
