Value For Money : Excellent
I mounted the microphone Bridge in recent weeks on my easel Jackson JJ2 (through maple neck, ebony fingerboard, alder body, bridge tunomatic). It is mounted with its small COAINE, the CREL Falcon.
I did my tests on an H & K Tour Reverb and a Mesa Dual Recto head passed through a 3-channel speaker Randall RA412XLT Celstion mounted V30, and a head CANLASS a Marshall 1960A.
This microphone is the answer to all my expectations and the best example possible to demonstrate that it is not the output level of a microphone that makes a monster.
T-Rex is full, round and clear, distinctive midrange, with a holy potato on palm muting and harmonics, natural, artificial or whistling very "pure". The big sound is there. The advantage of the average output level + (380mVolts, 13KOhms, 5.8Henries) is that it allows for a real good clean round next to a real saturation. This micro cut the treble a bit, which gives a new dimension to the setting of the presence of tube amps: the coup, the knob is fully usable on all his race, without ever losing musicality, or become aggressive to the ears.
Another thing, very important to my Yuexi: it respects the amp it in the ass. It is often said that a good amp reacts differently depending on the guitar used. The fact is that it's a balance that must exist between the two. There I rediscovered my Mesa. Even if the microphone gives tone and roundness "tight", offering low, mid dose and (a bit less than this, and I like it) tweeter, it does not color the sound ringing ENGL and Mesa as cousins. The microphone has a type of sound and the amp can seize it and work. Although it is not neutral, it is respectful of the rest of the string sound, not like a Tone Zone or SH6.
And as in the string sound is always the most rotten quality that gives the signal, hence the need for a good scratch, a good amp and good cables is essential.
This microphone is excellent and in demand as the rest of the equipment.
At price € 115 order directly on the site Crel. A very good quality / price ratio.
After getting the Seymour Duncan, the DI Marzio, tested a lot of scratches in EMG, finished to lead me to find the right brand of microphone to my ears it CREL.
