The PhoneMic!

Remember all those times you tried to EQ a voice to get it to sound like it’s on a telephone, and it never sounded quite right? Let me suggest a better way.

My good friend Sam Long makes some awesome mics out of old telephones. I used Sam’s PhoneMic all over his records with Big Tusk and Honey and the Sting. Then, Sam recently gave me my own PhoneMic, which I used extensively on some sessions with Ladyfriend, and that I look forward to using much more.

Now, you can get your very own PhoneMic! Sam is selling them on Etsy, and you can buy one for only $50. It’s outstanding for backing vocals or doubles. Also really cool for snare drums. I imagine at some point soon I’ll try it on guitars, and who knows what else. Use Basically, if you like getting cool sounds, this is a no-brainer.
