Testing some mics with a simple riff.

[mjtripper]

Okay, here is a simple quick riff I used to record some different mics on my k-tre. I recorded them all at the same time with garageband and then spread them out so I could hear them sequentially for comparison. They are all placed as close to the same distance from the cap as I could make them and run into the same mic pres with the same length and brand of cables. I tried to make the only difference the mic the best I could. The amp settings are gain at 5, bass 4, mid 5, treble 7, master 2, no boost, foundation 5, and presence 7. The only effect running is an isp g-string noise gate. So with that - what do you think is the best tone and what do you think of the differences?

Without second guessing i like 2 and 4 at least i think they sit in the mix best, i also like 1 too it sounds really cool, almost zztop maybe? but it's a bit boxy in the mix.
