That is the visual equivalent of a lemon sherbet consumed under the California sun.

 

He just looks great …
I mean The lollypop motif places him aside,in another dimension!
I guess the performance went well ;)

@ algae
I thought you had a go with a Rode.
I use one for experimenting and not having other evidences to compare I´m still fine with it.

 

Rolma, I do have a Rode NT2-A. That thing is a workhorse and I use it at my home studio all the time.(I am particularly fond of it on my floor tom) And when I pair it with a tube pre-amp, I like singing through it most of the time at home. But I like the Blue on stage because it looks cool, and I use it if I want to croon or use my "bedroom voice". It likes to get intimate. lol

 

Hello my name is ...... and I'm an addict..........
I have the reactor, it's' got great eye-appeal, and it performs pretty well. The problem is its shock mount. In-fact no matter how you try it's a very difficult mic to mount. Its heavy, off-balance and well, its just a beast. I also really like the other BLUE Microphones, I have more then 7 of them. I'm addicted!
