PR 30

M88 is a great mic, though I never loved it on a guitar amp. The Heil PR30 is actually my go-to condenser on just about any amp. (Paired with a Royer ribbon, it's magic)

...vacillate between the qualities of the re20, the pr30 and the pr40 and now the m88 too. When I first heard the m88 I found it very muddy - to my ear. This is not in a mix either. But last night I realised it is less so than I thought, much less I don’t...

Nah, that's enough drum tracks. But if I had to, same as for snare, I have some options. The D770 is a great mic too. Guitars, e609, D770, plus...
