GOOD BUT...

This mic is built like a tank and sounds awesome for guitar/bass amps, acoustic guitars and even vocals!

BUT unfortunately it came with defect. I guess it was a grounding problem where the whires where poorly connected....

It's so quiet it's unusable

I'm really disappointed by this mic...

It's extremely quiet, I can't get a clean hiss-free signal when recording acoustic guitar. I'm using an Audient ID44 and a FetHead to amplify the signal, still hiss. Other dynamic microphones work fine.

The other big drawback is that the mic grill is plastic. What does that mean? That the mic is uninsulated, and you will get 50Hz hum whenever you place it near a guitar amp.

There are way better mics for the price and unless you have a million dollar preamp, don't buy this.
