I'm kinda getting tired of the speaker sim shit, because while it can sound great, I still prefer a real mic. Maybe it's due to options paralysis, or my own lack of skill, but I can get a sound I like much quicker with a good 'ol SM57. So now I've begun the question for more variety, and have...

Probably no one here who would be interested but on the off chance one of the pro guys here is after a high end valve mic, I'm clearing out this AKG The Tube. Comes with the case, power supply, shock mount, foam pop filter, cable, all original paper work and frequency graph as well as two...
