anyone a fan?

I've read flood/josh homme/Alan Moulder dig it on guitars. curious to anyone's experiences with them?

Well, I own a sigma. Great mic for female vocals, acoustic guitar, cleans or slightly driven electric guitar. Haven't used it too much on hi-gain guitars yet, I need to experiment with that more (things got really boomy really fast, but that's years ago, might give it another try). But it is a mic with a distinct sound (because of the 15k roll-off) that doesn't fit every style. Josh Homme digging it comes as no surprise to me because of that. But blending it with a more agressive sounding mic might do the trick.

nice one, cheers.

if you get the chance to make some clips comparing with other mics, that'd be amazing.

Only $900. I was expecting $1500-$2000.

I would imagine the roll offs on either end would benefit guitar sounds and I generally like ribbons on cabs, even my cheap as shit NADY ribbons.

I'll see what I can do when I have some spare time (a rare thing these days). But I only have 3 mics, the Sigma, a SE Electronics T2 and an Electro Voice MC 150, so I won't be able to compare it to a more regular or well known mic. Is that a problem for you?
