Serial riffer « Hot & Spicy! »
Published on 03/15/12 at 02:58This is a microphone that I use for some time on my Les Paul. I abandoned a long time to try other things and finally back to this solution to give a rather oriented blues-rock to my Les Paul.
The microphone has a grain close enough to the famous 59 but with a marked hump in the mids which offer a breakthrough in the mix quite noticeable, without going overboard, we are far from their boring that can get a JB.
The Pearly Gates sound is typed for grain coated with the Les Paul but adds that little extra that makes the notes incandescent, a grains generally more transparent.
It responds quite well to the knobs volume and tone controls, RAS on that side.
If you plug a Les Paul fitted with this mic on an amp British typed, we will soon be floating in the waters of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Listen to the intro to "Gimme Back My Bullets" micro Bridge or Warren Haynes & Gov't Mule level neck position). A micro typed so, exit jazz, metal ... you can go to the Hard limit must be good but not too much to ask.
In short, an ultra micro satisfactory as to what it claims to offer more on the standard 59 ... the price is highly competitive but hey let's not lose sight that remains in a production factory, far enough from what other brands small shops offer in terms of quality in the fields (but it will cost not far from double the price to get there ... it's a choice)
A small Bémol is the failure to propose that the mode 4 son, used to be rather questionable in my opinion for vintage lovers like me who like both their son more conventional instrument ... but hey .. .
