The other GT tube mic that I like alot is the AM-40/GT-44 (same mic, different cosmetics and distributors). A MD end address mic that is wonderful on acoustic instruments (or at least that's how I use it). These are really reasonable @$250 or so on e-bay if you missed the GC $200 blowout last fall.

I'd cast another vote for the GT-44 on acoustic instruments, guitar cabs with the -15dB pad, and it can even be pretty sweet on some "big voice" vocalists.

I got one in the "how can you not buy this" $200 GC blowout that is mentioned above and have been very pleasantly surprised. With all due respect, I have never found any other budget tube mics that did much for me.
