Hi, Richard. I've played with the Audix Fireball - and have to say it may be great for YOUR music, - clean and smooth - great for Jazz, country, clean acoustic - but for MY music I really don't like it a bit. I point this out as clarification for the newbies in search of "chicago blues tone" - the fireball is NOT a good mic for that purpose in my opinion (unless, perhaps, combined with the right effects boxes.) It remains clean and even with a tight cup doesn't break up in any way shape or form like a traditional vintage mic.
