Last week I bought two old Electro-Voice(PL-78 and 80) mics for 35$ a piece. Needed some cheap mics that would work OK with guitar amps and vocals.
Did not expect much because of the price, but I could not afford a pair of SM57/58.
But I was curious how they sound compared to the standard Shure SM57, so I borrowed one from a friend and did this test.
Made a simple drumtrack and recorded 3 takes. One with each microphone.
The amp was my Traynor TS-25 and the guitar my EGC TT2 Baritone. Zoom R8 audio interface into Logic. No EQ/compresson/FX.

So which take do you prefer? 1, 2 or 3?
