Interesting. It says it's supposed to on the website.

On the features page.

Obviously, I'm not disagreeing with out. Do you have an older model?

Dunno, i bought it used.

Mine definitely has the three-position pad and low-cut filter switches on the bottom of the mic. Mine is also one of the swappable-capsule versions, so maybe the older ones didn't have those options. I'm not sure.

Mine is capsule swappable, just no switches

Really? And we're talking about the FET mic, right? Not the tube one? The tube mic has the switches on the PSU. And the one with the grey body?

Yes, FET.
Well i'd describe the body as silvery, i think it might be nickel plate.

Well, I suppose you could buy another FET body for $350. I don't know if it's worth it for just the pad/roll-off.

Although that page doesn't mention a pad/filter.

I'm ok without both, I have some inline pads that work fine and i usually HP stuff ITB.

You want the tranny mouse. Takes a shit ton of level, works on bass Amps kicks snares and loud singers all day long. Trumps all those other brands by far.
Try to get an older Latvian one, build seems better, I can't vouch for the new ones. Price is a steal too for what you get. Infinately better than my U87.

My desert island mic is cool too, the 4047. I use that on everything non stop and it has a pad. Seriously great all around if it's loud condenser.

Got a Latvian Mouse w transformer. Tracked bass and vocals with it so far. Tracking vox with it as I'm typing this, actually. Very pleased.
