TUL G12 Microphone

toastrock · Dec 19th 2016

Have any of you heard about this mic or have used one?

Sounds like a "game-changer" for guitar cab mic'ing.

"The TUL G12 is a unique dynamic microphone in view of the fact that it has been specifically designed to work only as a guitar amplifier mic. It needs to be placed on the axis at the centre of the speaker cone, 2- 8cm (1-3 inches) or so away.

By using a dynamic feedback circuit, it eliminates the high frequency buzz most mics produce when used this way, delivering the natural sound of the guitar amplifier. This mic is often used live as well as in the studio and is currently being used by top producer Kevin Shirley and Joe Bonamassa.

It has a switch for 'classic' or 'bright' (more top end) and is available in two styles: retro and SM58-shape. "

Nice!! I really dig your profiles so I'm eager to stay tuned and see how this mic fares for you.

Yeah, looking forward to the results!!!

My knee-jerk reaction is of course "they tell you where to place the mic?? sounds gimmicky!", but I'm really interested in hearing how it works.

I'm really digging it. Just grabbed it now. It's incredibly full. I'm experimenting with turning the gain up and it remains full while still having a great amount of clarity and focus.
