The 545SD can be configured for standard LoZ XLR.  Mine's wired to 
HiZ, so I can't test it with the Snap-On.  I would expect that if the 
545SD is set up as standard LoZ, it would work just fine.  Makes me 
curious about re-wiring mine; I'll let you know if I try it.

THe Blues Blaster is a different story.  As a HiZ mic, even with an 
XLR connector, it's not going to work with the LoZ Snap-On 
XLR.  You'd have to adapt it to 1/4" and use the "guitar bug" 
version.  You could set the 545SD up the same way in HiZ with an 
XLR-to-1/4" female adapter, and use the guitar bug with that as well.

Maybe Rosco has more experience with the HiZ version.  All I have is 
the LoZ XLR version.
