I just got these mics from MShilliarious over at homerec. They are omnis that he invented based on a tape Op design. $40 well spent.

cool Justin!! nice performance and tune. I'll have to check out the mics on my mains, but it sounds good so far on comp speaks !!

BTW whats with the avatar LOL

those MSH1's do a great on your vox. I like em. gtr too. Its got the warm low mids, clear mids, and a nice bite in upper range, maybe the PHeonix?
Do I hear a delay?

I might have to get some too, and thanks for posting !!

Tonio, Good to see you man!! I think they would make great percussion mics. For $40 why not? That was my thinking. I used a slap back verb on my vox. The mics have a large bottom end, which I had to roll off on both sources 3-5db.

Justin,

PS that avatar is Peter Gabriel in the 70s. One of my heroes musically.

Interesting... Do you have pictures of the mics?

Yes and a link to where these can be purchased would be great. Thanks!

They are cute little buggers. He sells through Ebay.

Thanks for the info Justin. Yeah, I was thinking they would be good on percussion too!


MS did a good job, these things mount right inside a XLR connector woo hoo. He sells right on his site too.

Thanks for the info.

Just ordered one. I'm always on the search for a mic with a flat response that might sound good on my voice. For $20 I'll give this one a shot. How can you lose for that price?

Chris

Wow, that's a pleasant surprise for $20. Cool!

Very cool. Thanks for the tip.

Wow... I didn't expect that good sounds from a $20 mic

I just might have to order one of those

Thanks, Justin! Gonna order matched pair soon...

-Kaapo-

WOW! Very surprising that it works that well on vocals. The guitar sounds great too. I put a stereo delay on the guitar to get an idea of how it would sound miked in stereo and I really liked it a lot. That sound is definitely worth $40.

I wonder how it would compare to the SM57 on guitar cabs? I got a Shinybox Ribbon mic for use on guitar cabs and it needs a good parter... The SM57 is a little to grainy when I've used it on guitar cabs, so I don't think I'd like it next to the ribbon. But that MS was pretty smooth sounding though, so maybe it would be a better option?... And it's dirt cheap too, gotta love that!

Crikey! They seem to lack a little depth in the mids, but hey for 20 bucks...! I like the matched set with a spacer bar and windscreens for $65...hmmm

thanks for posting that Justin. And your singing is sounding as fine as ever.

T

Thanks so much for that compliment Tube!!! I did cut some mids on the vocal. Im very mid heavy.

Tekker,

I didnt think of guitar cab. Ill give it a go.

Sounds good, Justin. But I'd like listening to you sing through a toilet paper roll. : ) Your falsetto is outta this world dreamy.

Damn Dan I think I may have just blushed!!! Thanks pal.

That'd be great. Thanks!

I wonder if these could replace the SM57 as the ultimate workhorse in the studio.... for 1/5 of the price too.

I'd love to get a few and try them out on toms/snare (maybe even overheads?) as well.
