Dirty Gritty Fuzz

[Junkie Joel]

I have a bit of cash to spend on a vocal mic and a preamp. I want a harsh grit vocal sound that doesn't hiss when there is silence. I don't want the mic to distort when I scream into it, I just want a very high level of warmth. Basically what I am asking is what is the most distorted yet under control mic/preamp setup?

Hmmmm.... is this for a scream in key style of vocals?

Just a suggestion:

A Rode NT-1 and a Joe Meek VC6Q.

Both are known for thier "warmth", and the VC6Q has a built-in compressor to control some of your screaming. It's also famous for that "British" sound.

You can check out the preamp at...

Happy Screaming!
