I've been using the pendulum pre with all kinds of mics. It's really good. Very
versatile. I would call it a "clean" tube pre. "warmth" with clarity and great
detail. Just recorded a steinway B with baby bottles with good results. I also
use fearn, cranesong and milennia. the pendulum has its own flavor but is
definately the equal. Some mics have come alive with the pendulum in ways they
do not with any of the other pres.
