What did you plug it into?

You can always sell it if you dont like it. Or throw it at something breakable... that sounds fun. Or perhaps you'll like it and keep it forever.

I made a really cool recording in the bathroom once..... sweet jam about looking in the shower, and how I was in there earlier. And of course "now I'm siiinging into the siiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnk", and toilet flushing in stereo. Anyway, I've actually kinda wanted to record drums in the bathroom...

Hahahahaha, I really like that cocksmoke word. I may have to use that some time or other. Last xmas I scored myself a pair of M179's that I've been pleased with on drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and vocals.... actually, they're pretty much my go-to mic for a lot of things right now. Sort of...

I Stayed Up All Night A Couple Nights Ago Playing Video Games.

I dont really see my girlfriend in the morning.... usually I'm still trying to sleep and going "rmmm!!!!" while she bothers me =D

There's actually quite a lot that goes in to speaker cabinet design, with many variables factoring in. I've come across sites before that had various calculators to figure things out for you.... things like internal volume of the enclosure make a big difference, and need to be optimized, based...

the GT ViPRE is black.... but would we consider that void of color, or containing all color?!?! Do we define the sumary color of a pre on the additive system of reflected light wavelengths, or the subtractative system of mixing paint pigments?

As long as my mailbox is the trash, go ahead and throw everything away =D

I enjoy my m179 pair quite a bit. I've gotten some nice sounding vocals, but I usually eq a couple db boost into the upper midrange or lower uprange (new word). On their own they dont really have the slight brightness that can sound good on many vocals. My other mics that already are voiced...

Ja wohl! *at least two more characters of german*

Bump and some extra characters.

Different circuits all right. It seems to me that you keep bashing your vision of it, but you seem to refuse to modify your mental vision in accordance with any information anyone brings out. Sounds to me like it isn't a cheap chip based unit, and it doesn't matter how it's preamplification is...

Basically nice tube instrument preamps are nice tube preamps that often times impart a great deal of color by being driven into clipping for a distorted sound. Stuff like the instrument preamps you're thinking of tend to be nicer than their cheap mic pre counterparts, although there surely are...

I just wanted to correct that mics aren't the only things that need preamplification - anything that's not already at line level does. A guitar will indeed tend to have a much higher powered output than most mics, but it's still not at line level. While you could plug it in to a line input and...
