Ok let's just get this out the way - this mic is seriously gorgeous, that classic Elvis vibe is all what this is about.
It seems a little on the quiet side too be honest, tonally similar to a sm58 (same capsule?) with a wider (sub cardioid) polar pattern and less proximity effect - you could practically eat this thing.
The on/off switch is a bit of an odd choice that could have been used for a eq switch or filter - I guess this is keeping in tradition.
Doesn't get a lot of use but I like doing the "Daptones" drum thing between the kick and snare pushed through some compression or saturation to add a little dirt. I've also heard good things about this for bass.
