mics
high i have recently purchased a 1953 valco supro amp iwas curious in your opinion what would be the best mic element combo to go with this amp i figure you have one or have played through one and i know the eelment is personal choice of the sound you want i have the green bullet and it sounds fine i was just looking to upgrade and also were i could start even looking for a mic from a dependable source to purchase one i know you have fritz here on the site but didnt know if he has mics for sale with a cm or crystal i have emailed with greg hueman about making a wood bodied mic but i think the elements he offers are a cm but nt completely sure thanks and last but not least have you used the kinder anti feedback pedal much or is there another on the market that you recomend when you crank up the volume it gets some pretty good feedback thanks again
i am looking to upgrade any one know a good place to start looking for one
Fritz is the mic guy of choice for many people. Wood mics, vintage, and all kinds of models and elements.
Yes, I have always received great work from Fritz. What model Shure Bullet do you have? 520, 520D or 520DX (the new one with the volume control)?
i have the 520 dx i have emailed with fritz i was thinking of a wood bodied just dont know if i should go with the crystal or a cm or cr any suggestions for that amp whivh one you think is the best for oyur playing
What you have is perfect for that amp... no need for a new mic, at least for that amp. If you want a little more distortion (and less volume) go for a strong CR or CM. If you want a little more volume (and a little more volume) go for a Crystal or Ceramic. Keep in mind that there are some super-strong Crystals out there (pick of the litter) that can be as strong as a CM or CR, so these are just general guidelines. Again, for this amp, what you have is perfectly matched.
oh dont get me wrong it sounds great i got the amp from the original owner that was taking it to the dump long story short the son saved it and we work together got it for $125 now everybodys happy but i would like a little more volume and a little less feedback thought about an anti feedback from kinder but was hoping a good mic with a crystal element would help anyways thanks for the help fritz emailed me some nice wood bodied mic pics with different elements so going on a shopping spreeim hoocked on this vintage stuff
Dennis Gruenling swears by the Kinder unit, but keep in mind that your amp is not a stage amp (large enough to hear yourself on the bandstand)... so use it for what it's great for (small shows and recording) and save your $ for a larger amp.
Wonderful amp... congrats. I think your green bullet is a great choice... no need to buy anything. If you want a little more volume from the amp, play a cleaner mic... a mic with an Astatic crystal or ceramic element would be great.
