Based on the accolades by Roy W. Rising (and because of an experience I

it, they aren't exactly making them any more. It will be interesting to
test it
out.
And how is it?
I haven't used one for years, I just remember using one on a guitar on
stage and getting the cleanest sound, and with gain before feedback that
was better than an SM-57... and wondering "how the hell do they do that
with an omni?"

I haven't gotten it yet. It should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday.
As a child, well almost, I was working at a radio station in Great Bend, Ks.
A local C & W group wanted to record. We had a couple EV666's, several RCA
77DXs, and a whole bunch of 655s, which I assume were the predecessors of
the RE55. I ended up using the 655s on everything but vocals. There was
certainly no separation, but what the hey, we were recording to a monaural
Magnacord. It turned out way better than it had any right to.
