My guess would be no. Maybe if you ran an effects pedal or Smokey amp in 
front of your amp.

If you tweak your amp to achieve different sounds, it seems to me that
the amp is the key, not the mike. Strange way to market something.
Actually, Bushman praises their own products way too much with way too
little evidence for my taste. American marketing, I guess.

I would disagree. Try singing through a Green Bullet. Crystal mics are not 
usually the best for vocals. And not all vocal mics sound nice when gain or 
distortion are applied. Is the Torpedo unique in it's properties? Probably 
not. I haven't heard one, but the Fireball is supposed to do the same 
things. Doesn't look as cool, though.

As to Bushman's marketing, yeah it can be a little direct. Personally, I 
like English and Australian marketing. Tends to be a bit more fun.
