Hmmmm.... maybe.

I did the gtr pedal mystery box. Picked up a Klon. I'd hoped for the Foxey tone box but the Centaur showed up - so I bought a Foxey tone box anyway. It's an excellent gtr pedal.

I don't know - what are the odds you'll get something valuable above the $250? 1 in 3?
 
I've read that the last time they did the "mic" mystery box - almost everyone received the least expensive/quality "jr" mics. I have no idea if that's true or not. I doubt they publish what all went out exactly.

Not that it matters - but I decided to opt in because I entered a December song/recording contest and thought that I would anonymously donate a microphone to the grand prize kitty of the contest. I figure - if I get a mic I really want - I'll keep it and donate a mic I currently own and can part with - and if I get a mic that I already own or don't care for - I'll donate that. So it's a win-win for the contest.
 
A few years ago, I would have taken a chance, but right now I've got more mics than I need, and seem to be recording less than 5 years ago. I've already got the 47jr, don't need another. Recent times I've pulled out the NT1, P-420 and even my MK300. I used my two SP-B3s last July.. still good mics 20 years later.

Good Luck Porter! Hope this time you get one of the good ones, like a FenTone pair or an 87R2 at least. A CX12 would be excellent. I read some good things about it.
 
Thanks - I'll report back. I just bought a mint used 87R2 earlier this year. I'm kinda hoping for the CX12 or 251.

100%. The cheapest eligible mic is $299.

I did this last year, figuring I could use another mic or two since my locker is very focused, and if the worst case was I got one of their $299 Jr series mics, that was still a fun purchase, I might get something useful, and whatever I got, as long as it wasn't a WA-14 (since I already have a pair of sE4400ac-414 style mics), it would be useful.

Reader, I got a WA-14 🤣 Ended up giving it to my dad after shooting some A/B comparisons with the (more expensive) 4400a on acoustic guitar, and since it really was a pretty good mic all things considered, grabbed one of their WA87s a few months later on a factory seconds sale. I have no idea how it compares to a real Neumann, but it sounds nice on an acoustic and was a killer voiceover mic, in the limited time I've worked with it.

Last year's thread, which devolves into mostly Rich and I talking about how best to do comparison videos.

Thread 'Anyone do that Warm Audio Mystery Box sale?'

Snagged one as an impulse buy, that just shipped today. Basically, for $250, they'll send you one of their mics, which most likely will be one of their $299 Jr series mics (which are still fairly well regarded, as good-for-the-money takes on classic mic designs), but there's an outside chance it'll be one or a matched pair of one of their more expensive mics (with the most expensive eligible mic being their WA-8000 at $1300), and one buyer will receive a full 13 mic collection of every eligible mic they're including in the mystery box offer.

I'm pretty well set for the instruments I...

Sadly I.. well It means I will keep using my MD441 for the foreseeable future.
 
Looks like they won't ship to the UK, so I can't take part!
 
There are international shipping brokers who forward it to you. If you are inclined to do so.

The Beak, is here, for you. If you need me to. I would.
 
Probably too late, anyway, this is a limited time thing.

I have experience with two of their mics now, and while I'm sure a real C414 or U87 would be nicer, they were both still objectively nice sounding, usable mics.
