olie Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Put me in the "I don't think so" camp re. Monels. Just an all round meh on my J-45. It's all relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Oddly enough I’ve been recording recently and the Monels, which sound great in the room, make my J45 sound oddly thin on mic. I’ve tried allsorts, but mainly record using large diaphragm valve condenser mics through a Daking Trident style pre/EQ strip and an LA2A compressor into Logic via a Focusrite Clarett front end, so it’s decent kit...the Monels perhaps just don’t suit the J45 for recording. I still enjoy the response of them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
