| Most metal guys like 121's on amps. 122's are overkill, because they'll need to be padded on the output of the mic, when using them on amps. AEA R84 rocks, but is too mellow (again going on the findings of my own taste and most of my customers), it's better in general for basic rock, alternative, blues. AEA R92 is the best AEA ribbon for metal guitars, it's not as mellow or thick as the R84. I'd couple the 121 specifically with an RE20 (just my experience). |
