Wiggy Neve Slut · 2nd November 2003

I usually start with a 57 --> 1073 --> eq a bit --> tape/disk.

I dont compress gtrs to tape/disk, as the gtr amp is the biggest compressor in the world!, maybe i just go a bit hotter than normal and ride it for solos etc.

For additional parts i change pre's, mics etc and often use a distressor or 1176 for the tonal difference and variety to change the sonic pallettte a bit.

Other suspects include:

Km84 !! yes very underated mic in this and many other applications.

U-87

Sennheiser 421

am keent o try out ribbons as i have no expereience with them and also the new senn mic gold/silver one and a baby bottle.

Cheers
