New mic day

[kip4]

yippee my new mic
GLS ES57 has arrived today. Later on tonight i'm gonna have a play with it.
So dont be surprised if i go all quite for a change.

four Sheckles !!!!!

 

[moresound]

Nice!

Four? For that GLS ES57? Four?! Look at it. It's worth ten if it's worth a shekel.







Goodbye Jon.

Actually it was a really bargain 25 English Shekels.
After an initial test it seems really nice. Fairly flat response curve a bit hyped in the top end but not overly.
I still have a lot of playing to do after i finish teaching. Later Henry.

 

[Jeff Ling]

I might have to try one of those things.

 

[kip4]

I threw it up on the front of my little german solid state combo without any effort
This is a little sample
All guitars are untreated (obviously lead has some reverb from the combos tank)
bass and drums midi

That's mighty fine playing Rich! What are the two different Microphone preamps are you using?






Goodbye Jon.

 

[kip4]

on the first gls test i used a cheap and nasty tube pre on my solid state combo. I can get a bit more distorted sound from the nasty tube pre.
on the second i used an Alice mic amp pak Line driver.
I originally bought it to have a pre with enough gain to get a decent result with Ribbon mics. Its a bit toppy but it does a great job most of the time to my ears.

Nice! We don't see Alice over here.





Goodbye Jon.
