Yeah, I gotta go with Zak on this one...If I'd never read this thread (or the TapeOp article) and went to a studio I'm not too familiar with and threw up a 57 and started getting really weird guitar tones allasuden, I don't know if I would think:

"Ohhhhh. Someone must have *boiled* that 57. Of course."
