I really really want a Fathead II ribbon mic with the stock tranny. I've been debating grabbing one for the last month or so, and it's been grating on me heavily for about a week. I might use it on close miked guitar tones occasionally, but aside from that, the mic is figure 8, which I currently don't have, so that opens a lot of doors for me. I've got an upcoming album project for a local musician, friend of a friend, which I might do for free, and I think the mic might perform greatly for this particular project. It's a sort of acoustic pop/rock project with minimal hard rock influence, at least as far as I can tell so far.
I was thinking of using the Fathead and another mic, maybe an SM57, in M/S mic position on the acoustic guitar, and that that might be neat to do. On top of that, I was thinking that the Fathead might make a great OH mic for drum recording in this genre. A third use for it might be not for close miking guitar cab, but for room sound... a la Gojira or something.
Anyway, just had to get that off my chest before I do something stupid and buy one. Anyone use a Fathead II for any of the above mentioned uses?
