I should have been more clear in what I was doing. I was ignoring the noise issues because I really just wanted to focus on the guitar tone as I knew this wasn't a track that was mix ready. So you're right, the noise is enhanced by my treatment but I was working off the assumption that the noise would be mostly eliminated in a mix ready track.
The noise is enough on those mics that I wouldn't choose them if I were going to record Peter. Listening to his other recordings, he's clearly not a overly noisy player so I think much of that noise is the nature of those microphones. The squeaks are loud but squeaks can be volume automated to bring them down to less glaring levels. All the other noise is something he'll have to overcome somehow.
