Man, talk about a guy who had the mic business in the palm of his hand. Totally nice guy too. Too bad his inner demons ended up taking it all away and hurting so many in the process. Is is so truly unfortunate. I'm glad/lucky that he did the work on my U87 when he did. Man, talk about a guy who had the mic business in the palm of his hand. Totally nice guy too. Too bad his inner demons ended up taking it all away and hurting so many in the process. And how many mic guys could that describe? His 1/2 brother for one... And if we expand that to 'tech/repair' we'll bankrupt John just making the list. And how many mic guys could that describe?

I'd heard that he was doing better not long ago. Still struggling?

He was always good to me, but I don't think there's any coming back after so many people were never able to get their prized microphones returned.

I thought someone on this forum was able to get people’s mics back?
I really hope everyone got their mics back in good working condition and not all the quality parts stripped out replaced w/ w/e...

Very sad. I'd spent a lot of time with him. Sounds like he's not better...

Herbie, I agree completely, but the thing is the only way for Shannon to get better is for Shannon to want to get better 4 times more than we want him to get better. Rehab is not for quitters it’s the hardest thing most will ever go through. Of course this is from the guy who gave up Perscription Fentanyl completely on his own but you already knew I’m fucking nuts.

I wish Shannon all the best. I will add that my memory of him is not a pleasant one and I would never consider him for any future work.

We all knew he was good, and that places like Blackbird were using him. But then we all heard of how badly things turned and how many got burned (often for money AND microphones). I believe quite a few people got burned. Including 'prominent figures."

Hello guys, I just chanced on this thread and I have been a victim of fraud or whatever you might want to call it. Shannon Rhoades of Mic Rehab has two of my microphones since 2017!. I have tried everything possible to get back my AKG C414 B-ULS which was sent in for re-skinning the capsule as well as an old STC ribbon.
I have done everything possible and these two mics are my best microphones that have a lot of history and its VERY PERSONAL for me now. I literally sent someone to Nashville this weekend to see what could be done to retrieve these mics by any means necessary. Sorry for the strong language but this is some major bullshit. I don't care about his past work or what he's going through at this point. 2017 to 2022 is a hell of a long time and I will appreciate anyone who could do me a solid to reach him and have my mic retrieved and possibly fixed. How can I contact Dave Wheeler please?.
Any leads?, Anyone?. I'll appreciate whatever help I can get honestly.
Have a great weekend guys.

Yeah, so sorry, man. Unfortunately, I’m not even sure Shannon is living. The last I heard was he was somewhere in FL living with major addiction issues. And that was several years ago. From all I know, Dave just went over to Shannon’s house and demanded as many mics for people as he could get…but that was several years ago…the house has been sold for years.

I’m sorry but as I understand it after Shannon skipped town the house he lived and did business in was robbed and what Dave hadn’t already recovered was likely stolen or Shannon possibly sold. So…your microphones are gone. Shame about Shannon when he was sober he was a nice and friendly and helpful guy.

Recorded in 2006 and about a different Shannon, but what an odd coincidence.

At this point I think we need to say our prayers for Dave Wheelers health each and every night.

He used TLM-103s on this record. Damien is the type where he would sound great no matter what you put up. He is the king of thematic sad songs. A monster artist who's current output is just as good as his prior.

I contacted Shannon a few months ago and he responded to then disappear again.
Such a sad story. A great talent. I am sorry for everyone who lost their mics too.
