"Your opinion on the matter is interesting, but it is just that, an opinion - and this is the Newbies forum, please don't peddle opinions as facts. "
I don't and didn't. In fact(!) it wasn't actually my opinion but that of my son (I can tune, strum a few chords, re-string, fix most things including the electrics on guitars but that is about it) my SON is the musician and he said the Sontronics STC-2 "Gets in the bloody way!" So I bought two AKG P150s. He did not say a lot and they have more than enough output even using the gain shy Fast track pro but I could see he wasn't TOTALLY convinced. He perked up when I tried an SM57! Then dad had to stump up for an A&H ZED10 (wanted one anyway!).
I treat everyone's "voice" on all forums as opinion unless it a testable "fact" such as a specification figure.
OP. You might like to buy the latest, July issue of Sound on Sound? Good article on recording a guitar player/singer.
