TG Microphone Type L

Kevin Kadish (Meghan Trainor, Morgan Wallen, Evan Taubenfeld, Jason Mraz)

“I think everyone’s gonna have one [TG Microphone Type L]. It’s incredible on piano, on electric guitars; I can’t wait to try it on acoustic guitar. It’s almost like having two different microphones in one, because the ‘A’ and ‘B’ mode are so different. ’A’ mode, to me feels like fatter and warmer, and ‘B’ mode is like more precise…for being precise it’s very tape-y. I don’t know how Wade does it, but every single time he makes something, it what my ear wants to hear and this is no exception. The [Type] L is going to be for everybody, I think. I think because of the price point of it…It’s so versatile, it sounded amazing on piano, it sounded amazing on electric guitar, like amazing on electric guitar! …unreal, unreal…”

Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White, Phish, Sturgill Simpson)

“I thought it [TG Microphone Type L] sounded exactly like what I wanted it to sound like. And that the best thing you could say for any microphone. It sounded exactly like the amp we tried it on, it sounded exactly like what I wanted it to.”

Ryan Hewitt (The Lumineers, Avett Brothers, Red Hot Chili Peppers)

“It sounds bigger than it is, it sounds bigger than it looks. Of course, the first thing that I had to do was really loud guitars. I’ve got my Marshall hundred watt amp and various other hundred watt amps; and my Chandler amp actually [GAV19T]…in front of my Marshall cabinet and did what I thought would certainly test a condenser microphone for its SPL handling capacities. The [TG Microphone] Type L, it sort of took it all in stride and was just like a perfectly balanced picture of what this amp sounded like in the room...It was loud it was punchy and it had all the low-end I wanted. I pretty much got the sound of one microphone, which is pretty tough to do these days.”

Howard Willing (Smashing Pumpkins, Dolly Parton, Ida Mae)

“Absolutely shocked…full stop. On, drums…tons of air, super harmonically rich and dense in the ‘A’ position. Pop it [TG Microphone Type L] over to the ‘B’ position, lots of bottom, lots of top, just really beautiful. “After drums, acoustic guitar is actually my favorite instrument to hear it on. in the ‘A’ position, it lends itself to more kind of ‘60s rock and roll acoustic. If you move it over into the ‘B’ position, you get a lot more weight out of the guitar. And the brilliant part of this is that, if I want someone to double the acoustics, I can easily change the sound by switching from ‘A’ to ‘B’.”

Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Green Day, Ed Sheeran, Fallout Boy, Pink, Katy Perry)

“Amazing. We threw it [TG Microphone Type L] up on a 112 cabinet with a Weber speaker in it, through my two-rock Bloomfield drive and this Tele and I didn't touch it; there was no EQ. I did leave it plugged into a line that was the actual vocal chain, so it was going through a [RS]660 compressor limiter, which is also the Chandler [RS660 Compressor] which I love…and so I left it on; it sounded great, I didn't even bypass it. It just sounded big and the mid-range is probably my favorite thing that I love about records. It's the sound of rock and roll. You know, without it, you don't really have guitars. Guitars live in that frequency. So it's important to me that a microphone can translate great mid-range…it kind of almost has a ribbon quality to it. You know…where ribbon mics can tend to be great for that mid-range without any top-end and without any low-end they just give you this like mid-range presence. But it's a little bit more dimensional than just a ribbon.”
