I allways mic up and I've played 800 seat venues with mine with no problems and my volume stays on 4 no matter what(were I like the tone),recording studio,bar room,theatre,outdoors etc....
The SM-57 is the perfect compliment to the TT IMO.;)You can allways mic up low volume GOOD tone,but you can't allways get good tone outta a loud amp.....Damn thats like a chinese proverb.:D

Yes, but a bad soundman will butcher your tone.

My take, as I've said before (as a full time soundman), is you need to have some stage volume projecting out and use the PA to balance the FoH mix. The sound of a guitar amp is much better than the sound of a mic'd guitar amp any day even with a good soundman. It's a balance. Hence why I don't see the TT as a viable gigging amp. You'll have to rely on the PA and soundman to make you audible out front in a loud venue.

oh, and that proverb....kinda silly....'cos you can get good tone out of a loud amp and bad tone out of a low volume. ;-)

I think its plenty loud with a 412. But then again there are those drummers that hit like gorillas.
