After I heard the Fender Hot Rod amp with your mics, I erased every guitar part on the track and started over. Your mics sound so good, it was the only choice I could make. You have a great product! - Jim Messina
Audio Samples of
the FAT HEAD II and VIN-JET
featuring both Stock and Lundahl Transformers
Samples were recorded at Avast Recording Co. in Seattle, WA.
Special Thanks to Michael "Smitty" Smith - Guitar and Ken Levy - Engineer/Producer
Samples were recorded using Neve Portico 5012 preamp. We used two (new, out of the box) Reissue Fender Deluxe Reverb amps with consecutive serial numbers. In addition we also used a Radial Big Shot switcher to divide the guitar signal equally into the two amps. The samples were recorded direct to hard disk with no EQ or compression. It's our opinion that this method offers a very effective way to record multiple samples for comparison. The fact that we used two separate matching amps with isolation represents a more accurate difference between the microphone and transformer options as where positioning two microphones on one amp can produce bleed and skew the true results.
