All of our gigs last summer featured our lead guitar/mando player using an EV ND 767a (super-cardioid dynamic mic). He's seated and knows what he's doing. It sounds very good.
I stand and used a Shure Beta 57a (another super-cardioid dynamic mic) blended into a Zoom A3. But the gain was fairly low since all I wanted was a touch of mic realism. I'm less in love with this mic than the EV 767a.
This coming year I'm going to try out the Aspen Pittman DT-1 on all the stringed instruments and the cajon to see if it works for us.
