Whattaya think? Splawn Quick Rod and mystery microphone
https://soundcloud.com/okstrat/somebody-get-me-a-doctor-solo
I though it sounded great...but a little nasal maybe (which I happen to like)? It's hard to say what you were going for without any basis of comparison. Another mic from exactly the same position would be interesting.
It sounds a lot like the amp in the room, which I dig (and yeah, the amp has some 'funny mids' going on, which I like.)
I hope it's a cheap one.
And the answer is?
I has a very coloured sound and a boost in the high mids. So i guess it´s no condenser.
Perhaps somehing weird like using a speaker reversed as a mic?

Nope. How is it sounding colored - just curious. I guess I need to slap a few more mics on there at the same time, but to be honest - it sounds a lot like what was coming off the cab. Seriously. And I wasn't using anything weird amp-wise or cab-wise - Splawn Quick Rod in first gear (plexi boost gain) with a '72 Marshall cab. mic was off axis, but I don't think it was that weird sounding.
Didn´t mean it sounds weird. Just cause you´re letting us guess i thought that it´s either something very cheap, very expensive or very uncommon
Without any reference sound mike like a balanced sounding condenser it´s very hard to guess. If you havent dialed in a very mid boosted sound i would say it´s no condenser, because there is that mid hump and little hi end. But perhaps that´s because i am not that skilled in those kinds of sounds.
Love it very punchy
Man, that has a great "bark" to it. I love it! When is the profile going to be available?
Pete, this has a really nice cutting through the mix tone
I'll reveal the 'secret mic' tomorrow - this profile and a bunch more are going to be put on the website next week probably. I'm REALLY digging this splawn - does a great modded marshall thing and VH too.
You said it sounds like the amp in the room so it must be an omnidirectionnal microphone.
A Behringer ECM8000.
Drum roll to big reveal...
It was an Audio Technica 4033a. Large-Diaphragm condenser. Guy in a band I'm in who also has a kemper brought this mic over to check out, so I didn't have to purchase it or anything, we thought we'd try it.
I still need to figure out best placement, etc - but I'm digging it. provides a different color. They are around $299-$399 new.

Wow, i was completely off
When i use my LDCs as only mics, i mostly get a rather scooped sound and a lot of high end so in most cases i end up adding a little bit of SM57 mid boost.
Btw, AT mics are really nice
I think I'll like it more 'blended' with other mics like you said, but still it wasn't bad at all. It's always fun to try a mic you wouldn't normally.
Hey Pete, ever try an AT 2020? I have one laying around that I've wanted to try. BTW, your Bogner profiles kill- worth every cent- thx much!

Cool, thanks for sharing.
Then i guessed right .
I think that your profiling/micking skills have improved a lot lately. the new free Bogner XTC profiles sound great.
I like that your higain profiles are very musical and not too harsh and bright sounding like a lot of other higain profiles out there.
I will buy a meatl pack from you if you ever do one.
Big thanks for the free profiles!
