If only for a moment.....
I was never that desperate to go........Speaking of toilet paper, has anyone used that as a P-filter instead of womens panty hose on a coat hangar?

Not even when the vocal was shit........Speaking of toilet paper, has anyone used that as a P-filter instead of womens panty hose on a coat hangar?
Now this one has real possibilities.....I love the fly swatter as a secondary pop filter.

Metal filters can change the sound, as can also nylon filters.
Th Håkan P110 Pop Killer is a foam filter with specially selected foam that will not colour the sound - also the foam is hydrophobic so that is will not absorb moisture that will also colour the sound.
I have attached a picture of the data sheet:-
I've perused the posts in this thread, though I haven't read every single one, and I can't tell if the overall consensus is that "any pop filter will do" or "not all pop filters are created equal"? For example the range in prices I'm finding when searching online are kinda ridiculous: $14 Nady filter at Radio Shack all the way to this $60 metal mesh one.
For a beginner like me with a small home studio is the Radio Shack one ok?
I've never found coloration to be much of an issue compared to the mic itself, the pre amp and so on.
The bigger difference for me tends to be the ruggedness and the quality of the mounting clamp which can be wobbly on the cheapies. Neither of these are deal breakers for a beginner though. Go with the radio shack. I still have some Maplin specials (ecc83 can tell you about Maplin) that are still going after 20 or so years.
Until now, I've also been using nylon tights on a clothes hanger. Works just fine and does the job.
The screaming bitch that's still wearing them is ruining my recordings, though.I've also been using nylon tights on a clothes hanger.

Same here.
I was at GC yesterday returning the JBL monitors and walking around and saw some pop filters. The cheapest was $21, the most expensive was $60 and that just made me laugh.
