Good stylish mic

I bought this microphone to mic a guitar cab but it ended on the snare as I prefer the rode m5 on the guitar. It has a kind of "scooped" (more high and lows and less mids) sound in comparison to the rode, I say that without negative connotation, it's just different.

The thing that I didn't like is the fact that being a budget mic, the style and look are too emphasized (wooden case or vintage aesthetic vibe). The things you gain in look you will probably loose in build quality and quality of components.

It has low cut, pad, and interchangeable capsules (not included).

Not a bad sounding mic, lots of features, only problem I had was I ordered the Omni capsule as well, and the thread doesn't really match, it looks like its been made at a different factory as the colour silver is different with a smother finish, it only screws down 2 or 3 turns, but still works.... overall a good mic for the money.
