| If you don't like the R121...have a listen to the R122V. More of a 3D midrange presence and silk up top. AEA R92 is a good choice for close micing an amp. I typically use it on smaller combos but it can do bigger amps as well. I've gotten some really good stoner-rock gain tones from a 50W Plexi with that mic.
If we're talking about 100W heads, jammed-on-the-speaker micing, and retaining big bottom without the flub...Crowley & Tripp "el Diablo" can make other ribbons sound broken by comparison. It just stays clearer with that much level and moving air. On our V2/HD130's/Sovtek it KILLS on a regular basis.
RCA BK5B's have a lot of bite and snarl, will take a good amount of level, and don't cost an arm and a leg. |
