Cascade mics...

[GetHimEatHim]

Oh man, I'm really liking that sound.

Are those just the Fat Heads with the stock trannys?

[tenchijin2.]

Yes.

I prefer the Victor model to the fat head II

More color, maybe due to the grill/body design?

Great room mics. I use at AEA TRP for them and it is AWESOME.

I understand that these work best at some distance, but can they work for vocals without excessive bleed from acoustic guitar?

For example here:

I am keeping my guitar and vocals separate and have great control with the mixer.

Will I lose this by going to a fat head ribbon?

How does the fat head compare to a LDC for room micing?

I've read a lot of positive experiences from people using a stereo pair of Fathead IIs in a Blumlein pair for vocals and acoustic guitar with good separation. So I would think you could probably play with position to get the guitar in the null spot. I've never tried it personally.

"Play Me" on that page uses a Fathead on guitar and vox.

I've mic'd acoustic and vox with a pair of Fatheads and it's worked great. the nulls are pretty wide, just play around a bit with placement.
