The Kel HM-2D condenser mic I like
I bought this mic from Fretless after borrowing a few of his mics for vocals. It sounded the best for my voice. Well I tried it on my little 1x12 with the ET65 and it was killer. This cab is a little harsh, especially at apartment volumes but this mic sounded great. Really pleased to have tried it out. I may do a comparison clip to a SM57.

I've had this one for a while. I got it form him a couple months ago or something. I did a mic shootout after he let me borrow 3 of his. I put them to the test and this was the one that won the shootout. But I just tried it on my guitar amp and it sounds great. I got a little clippie up on another thread.
