Can't wait!

[Chance]

I've gotten quite a few E-mails regardig changing their order. Apparently some in the USA have gotten a rebate check for $600.00 and want to "up" their order. Up and until the time you actually pay, you can change your order. (up, down, or cancel)

GB Payment Update
Hi All:

Just wanted to give you a quick update on the GB Payment Process.

I have finished all the coding on our side, and have ran several test transactions through the gateway and it seems to be working 100%. I feel confident enough that I wouldn't mind opening up payments again, but I'm still waiting on the SSL to be installed on the server... I wouldn't enter my credit card info on a website that wasn't SSL secure, and I don't expect anyone else to do that either...

As soon as this SSL certificate is installed, we should be good to go...

Thanks,

Randy

great!!!
I might add a few mics on my order!

[jeronimo]

Now, let me ask you guys a question:

What mic from the GB do you recommend for overheads? I was thinking about a pair of 583s for this duty and one 1200 for vocals/mono situations...

And I´m getting a ACM-3 for guitars...

What do you think Chance?

Just remember that the "583" is a bright mic. For guitar cabs, people are loving the ACM-2.

hummm, so it fits my needs...
should I change the ACM-3 for the ACM-2?
should I keep the 1200 for vocals?

Chance - I have no idea about any of these mics - other than some of the names and look are familiar.
Is there any chance you can give us a bit of an idea of preferred use for each mic (ie. vocal, acc inst, elec gtr cab, bass etc) - also bright / dark etc.
That would be very helpful to buy the corrrect ones for my needs. And I'm sure other buyers would find it useful.

[junior]

I'm in the same boat. I'd like to add some mics to my order, but I'm having trouble finding enough info on the ACM-6802T and ACM-1200. Any comments / clips / links / comparisons would be much appreciated.

BTW, thanks again to Chance and Randy for all their hard work.

[MaDHaTTeR]

I'd be interested to know if the 1200 is stock, or a somewhat customized mic, like Chance's 583, 310, etc.

Junior, there's not a lot of information on the 6802t, but you'll find some examples on voice and acoustic guitar over at HR. There's a whole pimp your mic thread on it too.

[liquidorange]

a short summize of what each mic is generally prefered for or sound description would be great. ive done a couple searches and can only find a few reviews on the various models.i keep 2nd guessing. would be great to have some kind of brief description un- scientific of course. this would put an end to my switching my order every 3 seconds.

Chance,

Looks like alot of posts from the last two days got wiped off this board so in case you didn't read my post here ist is again. A fellow Gearslutz member and myself have tried to register for the group buy at your site now that you have re-opened registration. We both had the same result. The opening page say's that registration is re-opend and we filled out the forms but when we click on the save info button at the bottom of the page we get a page that say's registration is closed, giving the old close date of a couple of weeks ago. Can you look into this and post when we should try again?

Thanks for that info. Whats strange there have been quite a lot of new registrations in the past 2 days. Try again and if it still doesn't work, PM me

About mic recomendations. Thats a hard one. What is one persons treasure is another persons "nothing special". Many are lloving the ACM-2 on guitar cabs. I just finished a project where the female vox was extremely thin. I tried all of my hi-end mics and they just didn't cut it. Then I tried the tube ribbon and it gave her vox a nice smooth-bodied texture that was just what she needed.
I prefer, if possible, to not use EQ on the way in and this ribbon worked well. The FET ribbon was also good.

[junior]

That's weird - it looks like a bunch of posts are missing...

[Mylithra]

They were having a database problem the other day... may be why some post are missing.

[Matti]

Yes, due a power down as I recal

For the benefit of those who have not recieved the mass mail (due to your spam blocker) the payment process has begun

[slaves666]

I registered to get the price quote for 2 mic pre's.....

You stated you should know the ETA on delivery, and I can't find it anywhere.

[Chance]

From the time the manufacturer recieves the funds, it takes around 10 weeks for the manufacture, and anywhere between 2 weeks and 1 month to arrive at the port of LA. Then I am guessing about 2 weeks to ship to everyone from here.

Thanks for the update. I forgot to ask, that since you extended the deadline, is there a final one that will determine the start of the manufacturing process?

They start manufacturing when they recieve the funds

[slaves666]

Ok, I assumed they would wait until the entire group had paid.....nice to know.

Hi Chance,

I know you have much more important things on your mind but...

i am in australia and have got my order underway for 3 mics and a pre and i was at at the VK site the other day and they were charging (i think) around $300 US freight for a mic in a case to ausralia...then I got thinking...I've ordered 3 mics and a pre ...what the hell will the freight be on that lot ???

Obviously more than the dollar value of my initial order....having second thoughts

What is "VK"? I have sent more than that for less than $300.00 to Austrailia.
