Helios Type 69 and a KM84 It's groundhogs day all over again!😎 I get it. He's practical. Wants to maintain a simple setup of only his favorite stuff that he's gonna use consistently. Better to do it with gear than gals. I hope the Helios sounds as good as you remember man. Glad it's in the hands of a lover.

Ugh, I feel your pain... that sucks man. If eBay/PayPal didn't have buyer protection there is no way in hell I'd by a mic from there. I've gotten 3 bad telefunken d19's various issues, 1 d12 no lowend, 3 re20's all with the same problem, 1 km54 didn't pass audio, a 269c with a wrinkled capsule, an rca 77dx from a sorta known producer that had nothing under 800hz. All of which were listed as at least 'good working order'. That's what we put up with buying old used gear. Test immediately and stay polite, take pics. Here's what I got in the mail yesterday, "very good condition and works great!" View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentThat is inexcusable. The seller should get banned. I want my chuck taylor's run over by a car, not my Neumann's.

Well, looks like the M149 is getting returned. Noisy, front of the capsule doesn't work, and both sides of the grill are seriously damaged. Oh, and the shock mount is damaged. And the cable has a splice in it. Deceptive eBay pictures for sure. Hopefully it's a painless return... Ugh, I feel your pain... that sucks man.

Omg. These pedals. Orion voyager Sputnik I had a Saturn V. Thing was really cool. Could have been amazing if I didn't full on suck as a guitarist. Lol! Join the club. Too many other interests I suppose. At least that's what I tell myself.

Wow. You guys are not into them as much as I am. I haven't heard a fuzz pedal that does what the Sputnik does. Particularly that gated disintegration. They are expensive...

these are making me glad I haven't bought a flea 47. I haven't heard a non remarkable piece of chandler gear yet. The only thing I don't care for is the internal light à la korby. Eh... no biggie.

AKG C414 B ULS matched pair Lucid 88192 ADDA (waiting for it) Those b-uls mics are great! The first two real microphones I ever got. Traded a Honda shadow for a pair. Ha!

There is a clip on chandler's site about the curve bender where they are talking about using an re20 through the Helios on Lenny kravitz vocals for 'are you gonna go my way'
And john's description of them being finicky, low head room,and horrible clipping sound is very accurate. The clipping isnt even cool in any way. It just sounds bad..

I have a lovely old Beyer M88 (actually used on a Genesis tour) Really you could record a whole album on this dynamic, you can just as easily stick it in a kick drum as record a great vocal with it. I think it has to be THE most underated mic ever imho. Of Montreal did record an entire album with that mic. Cherry peel.

I love my tg1. the thd is great on bass and Vox etc. although it's not gonna go crunch, I.e. you don't need a mix knob. This thing rules for noticeable drum comp and limiting. Gets some really thick push pull sounds. Often quite noticeable even at low gr amounts in either mode. For vocal compression it's not my first choice but still gets used as It's pretty flexible. Run serial and do comp into limit or thd into comp or any variation of. The time constants are all nice and quite different from each other. You get a different set of t.c. In both comp and lim. modes. This box can be transparent, but usually I'm using it because I want what it is offering otherwise. I think most all compressors sound cool on drums if it's what you are into. so to say a stereo limiter sounds good on the drum buss is like saying an iphone is great for phone calls. Well, I would hope so! But it does sound good on the drum buss and in it's own unique way. Mine's not going anywhere unless a zener falls in my lap.
