Not exactly the hottest thread on Rig Talk, but I'll post an update for the few who cares. Finally got the Beyerdynamic M88, thought I was clever and ordered it exactly in time for easter, but the post completely stopped the day before the holidays. So the mic spent the entire easter at the...

Check this out. Hopefully the right values followed the link, it looks like it from here at least. This is for the MCII, if you want the MTL change R1 to 47k (mid scoop off) or 94k (mid scoop on). Also the earlier MCIs had 62k in this spot. RT is treble, RM is middle and RB is bass - move the...

If I may suggest something a bit unusual - Not sure where you're located, but if you can find a talented amp tech he can build you a Wizard MTL clone based on a Headfirst PCB. I have personally done this with his Wizard MCII PCB, and the result is my favorite amp of all time! I've owned a ton of...

Sorry for posting twice in a row, but this would have gotten lost as an edit in the long previous post... Tried an interesting experiment just now, pairing a darker speaker (Alnico Cream) with a brighter mic (SM57), and then a brighter speaker (Blackback G12M) with a darker mic (M201). The...

That's super interesting, particularly about the 90s 57s! I have read up on stuff like changing the transformer on the 57 etc too, but the transformer costs as much as the friggin' mic and replacing it looks like a royal pain... Will definitely see if I can get hold of a used 90s 57 though...

You pretty much summed it up better than I did! I think my dislike for the 57 has built up over time, when trying to get a tone that isn't all about cutting the 57 hasn't really obliged. So my recordings have always been quite bright whether I liked it or not, and over time I've been leaning...

Never fully understood the SM57's "end all to be all" status when it comes to guitar recording... It emphasizes the right frequencies for guitar, yes, but it doesn't really give an accurate representation of what the rig actually sounds like (to my ears). If you have a rig that doesn't cut well...

Yes I agree, it works great with the master at 12 o'clock if the gain is at about 1 o'clock or lower, but with gain maxed out it's very saggy and soft in the bass. Great for leads, but for palm muting it's close to useless and I don't feel like it tightens up sufficiently with a boost either. I...

Thanks for that, and I think you might be right. I will get new speakers tomorrow, a quad of Wizard Rock 20 made by Eminence exclusive for Wizard amps, so we will see how it works out. How does your SL67 behave with the master volume? Even when I run mine with a 1x12 with a Creamback 75H it is...

Thanks a lot guys! Leftycatton: I actually own an EVH 5150III LBX as well as the Suhr, and it's a great little amp! Best lunchbox amp I've ever played, blowing the Pink Taco, at more than three times the price here in Norway, out of the water! However, it does not have the right Marshall roar...

Hi guys. My first post in here, but I've been a member of other forums since 2009. Just a quick question before we start: do I have to have x number of posts before I can post in the classifieds? So, to the case: I have been through a shitload of amps, not to mentions guitars, never quite...
