Friedman Mic No Mo Test

[@siamese1414]

EXCELLENT video. Had the information I needed. Good lighting, good presentation. I'm gonna buy one.

[@gabrielsposito863]

I like your playing a lot! Awesome studio too! More content please.

[@adamlongworthproductions]

I think this thing sounds great! I also think some of the tones sound better than the 57 in this vid. Great video!

[@tonisruestes5208]

Cabinet give as you said more low end, but I also hear more harmonics there compared with the Mic No MO

[@AAhshitsun]

Lil magic lost with the mic no mo. A/B it with the palmer please!

[@gooberthoreau]

I feel like the Mic No Mo is going for a very specific sound, that sort of 80's hard rock sound, which I think it does a great job at. That said, it isn't very flexible in that way. I think even a simple 10 band EQ on the direct out could make a big difference if you were to have a micro board that you put on top of your amp at gigs or something to feed FOH.

[@MrJackrockerman]

Classy video.. you are absolute fantastic player.. pitch tuning is articulate and the comparison very clear.. Good explaination about the product . Thank you mr producer.. 🙏❤

[@AudioAndBeats]

Thanks a lot

[@peterjordan3609]

thank you!

[@eljayess]

Sounds good to me . I think I'll buy one .

[@MaxCarton]

Not a big fan of what I'm hearing from the "Mic No Mo" on the distorted parts. Did you use it on the center position there? Cheers

[@AudioAndBeats]

Hi Max, yeah we've used it on center position. The off axis position seemed to be just a little more quiet...no massive tonal difference.

[@Andithewicked]

Danke! Das war sehr Informativ! 😊

[@mika-hp5ch]

Even if the sound of the Mic no Mo is a bit harsh in this video, I don't think it's a bad product for the price. The difference of sounding with the real mic can also be explained by the fact that the Mic no Mo and the real mic do not react the same with the exact same amp settings. The comparison could have been more fair if the amp settings would have been adjusted while using the Mic no Mo (especially the presence knob), even though I understand that doing 2 different takes for the same thing makes the video a lot harder to record

[@Salthecat1]

Just ordered a unit and waiting for it to get here. In this video, yes the unit sounded a little bit thinner and harsher than the SM57, but I agree to your conclusions that some adjustments could be made. For me, most importantly its the playability and feel. I could still listen through the original speakers and make any adjustments to the recorded track as needed. Great video btw.

[@Salthecat1]

Btw, there was one lick (with distortion) where the unit sounded better than the SM57 in my opinion.

[@simonecelante7729]

Good video.

[@Auen73]

What cab/speaker was the 57 mic on? and what speaker and cab is the Mic No Mo suppose to be simulating/emulating? Great video and playing btw......The Mic No Mo seems like a very useful/usable live tool for $99 thanks.

[@AudioAndBeats]

Thanks...The cabinet we've used was an ENGL 4x12 with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers but I'm not sure what speaker the Mic No Mo emulates.

[@neastguy]

when you plug it into the PA with XLR is it a line or instrument input? I think the SM57 sounds better but Im tempted to try it

[@jimmilliams2848]

My man, I got a question.. when you have this plugged into you amp , can you still get sound through your normal speaker/cabinet or is it all direct through a mixer/PA?

[@AudioAndBeats]

Hey man, you can or better you need use your normal speaker/cabinet or a loadbox while you using this. Plug your amp in the "From Amp" jack and your cabinet in the "To Speaker" jack. And then you can use a mic cable to use the simulated out on the backside of the "mic no mo". Don't use it without a speaker or a load connected to it, it's not made for that. Hope that helps buddy

[@Diax1324]

@@AudioAndBeats So this isn't a loadbox? How does it take the sound "From the amp" if it's not taking any load whatsoever?

[@AudioAndBeats]

@@Diax1324 yes, it isn’t a loadbox. I don’t know how it works technically…but I think it works with some kind of a transformator what changes the voltage coming from the amp to a line level voltage. And the signal is obviously splited after the input, so the direct signal can go to a cab without being changed in any way. But that’s just what I think how it works.

[@johann.bichon]

Yes, I hear a little difference in low end. Is it possible to change cab or mic in this DI?

[@AudioAndBeats]

No you can't change this...the only thing you can change is the mic position

[@tomulator]

How was the 57 positioned? What axis setting was the Mic No Mo in?

[@AudioAndBeats]

The 57 was pointed on the join between the cone and the dust cab, on axis, as close as possible to the speaker. The Mic No Mo's axis setting was set to "center".

[@alexandrunecula7242]

Hello! Pj you and Rolf you are best guitars player ,a big influence for me, when Runnning Wild plays on tour?

[@AudioAndBeats]

Hi Alexandru, thanks for the nice words man. I'm sorry but I can't say anything about upcoming live shows at the moment. It's up to Rolf to speak to all the fans out there about live dates and releases. So please check out the RuWi website and FB page for any updates.

[@BruceKnouseMusic]

I understand you need the speaker cabinet for the load but does the speaker cabinet produce sound? Looking at this for use in an apartment so I would prefer if the speaker cabinet did not produce sound and was just there to provide a load

[@AudioAndBeats]

The speaker is still working normally...the Mic No Mo is not a loadbox, so you can't use it without a speaker or with other words "quietly".

[@minisurfbanana]

So this basically an output for recording or live show? Sound of the amp is still blaring right? Not like an OX?

[@AudioAndBeats]

Mini Surf right...it‘s not like the ox.

[@mikmiklicayan4483]

Can you use this as just purely and amp sim and just ditch a speaker cabinet?

[@AudioAndBeats]

No, it‘s not a loadbox or an atinuator. You need to use a cabinet…otherwise you will damage your amp.

[@alexandrunecula7242]

Please you can tell me what guitar pickups use Rolf,i know in '80 he used super distortion, and now? Thanks

[@peterjordan3609]

I suppose he uses burstbuckers

[@alexandrunecula7242]

@@peterjordan3609 burstbucker 3?

[@alexanderkussatz143]

Gibt es eigentlich Neuigkeiten zum nächsten Running wild Album? Lange nix gehört

[@AudioAndBeats]

Es wird dran gearbeitet, genaue Infos zum Release usw. gibt es aber noch nicht. Sobald es Neuigkeiten dazu gibt, findest du sie auf den Running Wild Seiten, Facebook etc.

[@brandonkaiser8344]

Blended together = good

[@NaceK84]

very good video and playing... Mic No Mo is PURE G A R B A G E

[@AudioAndBeats]

Thanks man

[@tomulator]

A bit HARSH don't you think? This is NOT supposed to be some expensive IR/cab simulator...instead, it's a simple, INEXPENSVE, good sounding live tool to use with or in place of a traditional mic'd speaker cab. I've used this emulation many times live and it works great!

[@TavaresProject]

It's ok... But your mic'd sounds is better for sure

[@guitarlife6190]

57 all the way

[@geraldhinson]

yep. No contest.

[@orbithesun1]

This is basically the same design as the Hughes and Kettner Redbox. That unit came out in the late 80’s. lol There are way better solutions out there, such as IR loader like Two Notes Torpedo or the Mooer Radar.

[@tomulator]

orbithesun1 for $99?

[@jackbenson8228]

mic no NO amirite??

[@mhoff7722]

Meh I'll take the real mic every time. That said, I have used the Palmer at a gig and it reproduced my amp sound fairly well.

[@martinvannostrand8488]

It sounds choked

[@waynejames2014]

Prefer the real mic and cab. The No Mo is a bit meh
