414 b-uls is a gem, my most used mic. It sounds like the source.
My list of dislikes would be
- Lewitt: I haven't tried a single mic I've liked.
- Most algorithmic verbs, much prefer either using a trashy spring verb or convolution.
- Slate everything
- Warm everything, except that Ampex clone, looks cool but haven't tried it so jury's still out.
- Taylor guitars
- Chorus on guitars
- PRS
- Peluso mics
- People who hate on the Neumann TLM 103 for sport
- Anything that would lead me to be perceived as someone who enjoys listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan
