I use this mic for a fortnight because of several hours / days
This Micro possde trs good momentum, a significant gain, which tends to "crunch" sounds clear. It is extremely prcis, has a large sustain it with a sound not quite SPECIFICATIONS a lot of high harmonics and spectrum sonoreassez east on mdium high / high .. I feel he has to hear a range of sound reproduction is rather strait ... Finally an impression ... I do not like the sound of this microphone that means, it sounds a bit "synthetic"
I used mainly Dimarzio (tone zone, fred) and the sound is close to a sharper tone zone with a bit more than DEFINITIONS, harmonics and saturation in potato ... it's perfect for the solos and riffs nerve .. Using the potentiometer it sounds less "mtal" and can not address the pb directory rock ....
The microphone is coupled with a perfect 85 which is more serious and "vintage" with 2 microphones and position a couple on a wide range of sounds ... trs
The only criticism that I make for this microphone is that it is not "splittable" and that it is not musical in use "clear" ... So lack of versatility over the competition ( fred tone or area or evolution) ....
I do not put the maximum ..
