heavy guitars (read: heavy players) the amp tone has fine highs in the room, but too much on tape. this mic doesn't do that

I guess I'll try harder
Its got SOME bite in the mids, slightly pushed back lows (still sounds good, thick & balanced, not thin at all) and the high end is not "airy", but clear and pleasant. it takes EQ really well, which is one of the reasons I love it on hi-hats so much.
my "go to" chain for hats is M160 > 512 or TG2 > 560b > recorder.
Guitars, the pre varies allot, but I've been loving BAE 312's and Neve 1073's, for heavy guitars
