anyone out there have one of these? i got one about a month ago and not really getting it - am I a dunce? Weird midrange on vocals (admittedly, yelling/screamers), hated it for drum overheads, though digging it on distorted guitar. but i have a million other things that will work in that regard. I don't have the most experience with tube mics - recently got a Lawson MKI and I haven't found anything it doesn't sound great on. I guess I expected this mic to be a bit more versatile - like the Lawson. I know it's supposed to be a "modern 47" of some kind and the design is supposed to incorporate some U67 design elements - is that where the weird midrange comes from?
curious what others like these for? maybe I just should sell it and buy something else (or another lawson!)

I had been interested in that one years ago. I too thought it was supposed to be a U47 clone. Maybe the capsule is damaged or was swapped by someone? Back when I was looking at them, they were pretty expensive. I'm pretty glad I took a pass.

"thismercifulfate" at the "Purple Patch"  has one, and regards it highly. You may want to contact him. I tried it a couple of times at NAMM, over the years... And thought it did sound very good, at that time. Guessing you might consider selling it, and picking up the Lawson version of the U47 FET. Then putting some left over $$, back in your pocket.

Chris Not looking to give up just yet, but would love to chat with others who like it - I couldn’t find that username with a search? I do own the Lawson 47FET and it is great - just find the tube version more useful, generally, in most situations. |

It seems to have a really great reputation, which has me concerned it is user error.
I’d be truly shocked if the seller had it modded - didn’t seem the type. But maybe he bought it second hand? (Also I would assume folks would take out the goody capsule lightning as a first move and that is still there).

Or if you PM me with your email, I'll contact him with it. Chris |
