Value For Money : Excellent
The original idea was for me to upgrade a good old strat mex with a set of texas special, operation I had already done with great satisfaction on another strat mex few years ago already.
Reading different opinions I came across Tornado MS mics and I say why not, it's pretty near the same price and it is French more ... Contact made with Marc, very nice, quick response to emails, which directs me to this set of micro and hop I order to be delivered within one week later with specifications characters.
Sending the guitar to the luthier for changing pickups and also all of the electronics (CTS knob, condo paper .... oil) with a push pull for the serious microphone in series with the micro center or the bridge pickup).
I heat lamps amp branch the guitar in his clear and, disappointment, this is not really the same as the texas special ... on the other hand I said: "ben shit usual with this type of microphone and control, it is not supposed to crunch gain levels, and scrap it already!"
I go a little gain, and this is the slap ... I stick one upstream and 808 is a new slap ... and I like that, I glued a TS9 between the 808 and the amp and it is a huge go back in my face ... Stevie Ray comes out of my fingers immediately!! hendrix and for that matter! quickly an exorcist!
So the very large sound output level important for simple (I would have to compare with my dimarzios FS1) and its built for rock, nervous, accurate, good response to the attack, sensitive and very dynamic, not too bright mics volume quite readable and true sound typical U.S. Route 66 and how red peppers. Obviously, lowering the volume a bit microphones obtained without problem all sounds a nice stratocaster expected but with more class.
Attention, it is demanding microphones, and they will be enhanced by a strong pull.
Nothing to say, hand wound micro is truly magical. Needless to say I took my foot sacrament and I totally forgot the sound of the texas special ...
PS: the position micro + micro severe acute (or bridge) series is absolutely huge ...
excellent value for money for his unique and handmade, and I already know where I buy my next set of microphones (double for 335 like) ...
