What did you think I meant by "replicate"? I wanted to see if mine acted similarly to yours.

When I discussed recorded heavy guitars with the ACMP84, I specifically stated I used the ACM-200, and my comments were about the mic and the particular application thereof. I wasn't even responding to you at that point, I was trying to offer my impressions of one of the mics no one seems to talk about. It's true I use the SM7 for heavy guitars often, but that has nothing to do with what we were talking about, except for the coincidental common denominator: the SM7.

Perhaps I should have been more clear.

Then I must have missed it. But no one is talking about that much, so what's up with that? Anyone know where that post is?

What's wrong with wanting to know how you had it set? Is it a big secret? Initially you just said the pre was crap and distorting everywhere, with no details on what you were doing with the controls.

I did see that. My issue was that you gave a very negative review of the pres on multiple forums, giving no insight on what you did to achieve that sound. Then when pressed for details you got all bitchy.

I didn't see you mention the possibility of a defective unit. You stated that it was garbage (other than as a DI), and that was it.

No.
