Hi all, experience the same scraper before, I bought this microphone for a Les Paul (mahogany body ).... its a lot but ... missed something, no personality ....
When I installed this on a micro Whale (corp spruce) everything changed!
Very powerful, a touch of vintage and very versatile, from blues to heavy metal ...
In a split with SH1 sleeve provides great sound very warm and present.
In a split with the central micro (I installed an SSL-2), not bad, a super micro finally!
I think it's a bit more nervous than a TB-5 (always on my guitar).
