I hooked it up and it seems fine.
I'm looking at options for less time with my amp cranked and this may assist a little.
Kim's anxiety and skittishness is still high after the birthday that became a funeral visit and the CV19 episode that followed it so I'd like to reduce my part in sending her bonkers if only a little.

That's like a damn near exact knockoff of the Radial. Nice they're handy when you need it.

I did a prop[er test of it today. Ran a track or two, that had been DI'd, through a Pignose because I wanted that sound rather than the rather generic one I'd tracked. It was an easy thing to do: I stuck a 57 in front of the tilted Pig and was pleased. I also sent a lead line through it, into a spring reverb pedal and then to the Pig to use as a panned addition to the lead part...it came through well too.
I do hope not to need to use it but if Kim's not up to the noise of me tracking & retracking loudly then a bunch of headphone & DI attempts to get it right and, eventually, one run through the Marshall, should be a better option.
