E-609 .vs EV635a (amp/cab micing)

[TyphoidHippo]

I voted other - I have two e906 mics - and you couldn't pry them from my cold, dead hands. They are absolutely perfect for modern, heavy, distorted guitars. I had an e609, and didn't really see too much of an improvement over a 57 (but it was a little better).

So....there you go - I say shell out the extra 70 bucks and get the 906, it's totally worth it, in my opinion.

You can here a song I did with an e906 here:

It's the first song on the page - the guitars were tracked with an E906, two 991s, and an F15 (audix). It was quite a while ago, but I'm pretty sure I cut the two 991s from the mix, and it was just the 906 and the F15 that made up that tone...

edit: I just noticed this thread is about 3 years old - lol.....

Yeah it's old and I voted other.

I have used a 609S on and off for sometime... most off. I prefer an i5 to a 609S. an i5 and 57 pair well
