it hears everything. The result is pretty natural. It picks up my fingers touching the guitar a lot. I have to hover my hand so my dangling fingers dont sound like shitty little drums. This must be how a hummingbird feels when it's eating.
it picks up my voice. And it picks it up in that natural position where you're looking down at your guitar. Like I could be reading off of a chord sheet on the floor and my vocal is going directly into a condenser microphone. I turned up the Reverb and did Spanish Caravan. That is really cool. To be able to do the absolute most natural thing and it all gets projected outward. I have described my ideal situation before and this is almost it. I sure hope it works outdoors. Indoors it is satisfyingly loud before feedback starts.
Would never actually depend on this mic for the vocal but if all i had was this mic clipped to the guitar, i would feel heard vocally in a pinch.
Mic clips directly to the sound hole, little cable goes to the battery pack (w/ power switch and low cut), battery pack gets slung somewhere, XLR cable comes out of the battery pack. I will try to get some video of it going through a proper PA tonight.
Edit: walked around with the mic clipped to my shirt and gave a bit of a TED Talk. Now I know how that feels. Super cool
Edit: testing with pa wow i actually get to hear the acoustic come back at me instead of going away from me. It makes you play better. Did not take any video.

Yeah didn't notice how heavy my breathing could get during intense passages until I started recording with a sensitive mic. Still, the extra noise (within reason) adds so much life to a performance imo... Better than sterile over-production.
Recording has never been a problem. This is live stuff. Outdoors trying to get across an open space with noise in it. There's a lot of great ways to record indoors.
Its great for live stuff too, it has a Cardioid Polar Pattern so it only really picks up sound from where its pointed so it would get rid of problems with unwanted noise.

use your new mic to capture the room and use 2 mics, you will need a USB audio interface with at least 2 inputs.
