Haha, so you like running your preamp through a very tiny room, eh Tornio?

Lately I’ve been using 2xSM 57 (fredman pair) and one AT4060 for room mic’ing. Works wonders.

I've been using a Heil PR40 to supplement an SM57 lately. Blending the PR40 to taste, usually favoring the SM57 during rhythm and the PR40 during leads.
