the v67 is not a bad mic. have had some good luck w/ it on toms and vocalists that sounded too thin + sibilant on my 4050... thus, it's not something you'd pick where you really need tons of hi-end clarity, but it's pretty devoid of that horrible hi-end shrillness in a lot of cheap LDC's.

FWIW, it takes compression well. but tracks recorded w/ the 4050 seem like they're made out of elastic; they take compression, eq, whatever SO much better than anything recorded w/ w a crummy mic.

if you're getting it free, I think it's worth keeping. at the very least, it's free and would make a good-lookin' talkback mic. or throw it in front of a kick or on some toms; i've had decent luck w/ it w/ percussion.
