Hey guys, liked the video, but why no footage of the actual performance? I wanna see some rocking out.

[@jonweil4493]

Great point...there's a second of two of me playing in the beginning, but we certainly wish we had gotten more of it on camera. Live and learn! Thanks for the input- we're still working out our system.

nice video guys! what your thoughts on the Cascade Victor ? I want to buy one

[@FuzzywallzMastering]

Glad you liked the video! We really love the Cascade Victor and use it constantly. One could say that it is our go-to ribbon mic and ends up on every drum recording we do, not to mention that it is just killer on guitar cabs. The trick with guitar cabs it is to go about half a foot off the grille and directly on-axis with the cone, then usually it needs a little high-end EQ. Unfortunately, it seems that cascade has stopped selling these, so you’ll have to try the used market. Currently it does look like Cascade is selling a mic called the “Vin-Jet” and it may be very close (based on it’s specs), but we haven’t personally tried one yet…..
