So I was gassing for an Heil PR20 all because of HollowmanPL's thread but came into possession of Beta57A instead.
So here's a quick "throw the mic in front of the cab" test:
Solo guitar buss (HP@80hz on the mic preamp):
SM57
Beta57A
In the (rough) mix, blended ~60/40% with a MD421n:
SM57
Beta57A
(ts808 + 5150 green channel + Marshall 1960bx)
I like the beta. More so than I expected. I was affraid it would sound harsh but it doesn't. It has a lot less proximity effect than the SM and less hi-mid sizzle (or fizz if you will).
Well... Cool I suppose...
