Thanks for the review. I'm using Samson Q4 for podcasting and I'm very satisfied it has low plosives and great high frequencies. No need for using popfilters or wind sponge thingi. I was inclined to buy Shure SM57 but after watching lots of comparisons vs Samson brand, I'm going to stick by Samson. Thumbs up for this review!
Thanks for the video. I have a Q7 that I use as a vocal mic and it’s great. Not sure if it was designed to mic a guitar cabinet, but you need to take into account that you were playing a Tele in the bridge pickup, with a bit of boosted treble on your OD pedal. Of course it’s going to sound too bright 😵💫
Talking bout that - it's better to have more brightness without boosting the noise. It's always better to tame down later and tame the noise than boost it with EQ and boost the noise at the same time.
music_ Seeker thanks so much mate, that means a lot to me. :) Tomorrow me and the Guys are going to the Guitar Show in Birmingham to check out all this year's new gear. You deserve to know what's coming next. ;)
+Shan Michael Escasio hiya mate, i used the Samson for at the guitar show. You can hear it on that playlist for both vocal and guitars. :) The only flaw is the lack of a pop shield. :)
im planning to do some vocal covers with me playing the keyboard too. i have a korg kross 61 synth workstation (im poor af. lol. my q7 was sponsored by a friend) which has a mic input. but really, editing the fx for the mic is very limited. i can adjust gain (audio/mic in setting) and reverb (master fx) and some finer details. i put the highs and lows to mid (mid high and mid low) but i dunno what woud be the best tho.
That sounds great, i bet you could do a lot with that. :) Check out this link: blog.sonicbids.com It should really help you to get the most out of what you have when mixing. :)
+Dimitri Milewicz hey buddy, it's more like a dust filter. A pop shield is much thicker. If you make plosives into your microphone and it clips, it's not a full on pop shield. The Q7 doesn't have a pop shield. The SM58 does. The SM57 does not. The Q7 is more like a SM57 in design. :)
I'm afraid I have no experience with the Q2u, but generally I'd avoid usb microphones. But I really know nothing about that mic, so I can't help I'm afraid. The q7 is great for record instruments though. :) The pop-filter is pretty rubbish so it's not great for vocals, unless you use an additional pop-filter.
Thanks for watching and your feedback. The SM57 is actually an instrument mic and meant for music and not vocals. It can be used for vocals but needs an additional pop-filter to prevent plosives. :)

Am red have this mic but I don't no how to yous
Richie Kotzen used the Q7 in some shows, great sound!
Ha! Great to know. I think they're great mics especially for guitar amps! :D
@@jtguitartv in this video ua-cam.com/video/WDiDhiNB3vo/v-deo.html
@@paulor.m.raimundo8484 ok, i'm impressed :O
Richie uses Q8 and Q8x it's not this mic
@@aayushupadhaya3717 It is the Q7, see here (he used it often if not as usual as live mic): ua-cam.com/video/LkKBcEV75WE/v-deo.html

I love your videos, keep it up!

Pay 4 x more or just roll off some highs in post/move the mic away from the centre of the cone...
Good SM57 👍
It’s a classic.
@@jtguitartv yas.. SM 57 a wider
Good video but it would have been nice to see if you could EQ the Samson to sound the same.
Thanks, yeah. Maybe I'll have a go at that at some point. :)
Using in Guitar AMPs the Sm 57 sounds better, but Q7 was great too.
+Bruno Luan , i agree. ;)
i have the q7 and i love it. 😊😁 mind doing a vocal test and review? 😁 i tried it live and it blew me away. 😁

When you say a "pop shield" I have the Q7 and the Shure SM58 beta and both grilles have that foam built into them .. isn't THAT a pop shield?
+Dimitri Milewicz hey buddy, it's more like a dust filter. A pop shield is much thicker. If you make plosives into your microphone and it clips, it's not a full on pop shield. The Q7 doesn't have a pop shield. The SM58 does. The SM57 does not. The Q7 is more like a SM57 in design. :)
samson q7 or samson q2u? can't decide
I'm afraid I have no experience with the Q2u, but generally I'd avoid usb microphones. But I really know nothing about that mic, so I can't help I'm afraid. The q7 is great for record instruments though. :)
The pop-filter is pretty rubbish so it's not great for vocals, unless you use an additional pop-filter.
@@jtguitartv I see, thanks.
hey bro can tell me faster this mic good for singing ?
It hasn't got a good enough pop-filter. So no, not really. It's fine if you don't talk directly into it. So it would work well as an overhead mic.
How I can yus
You’ll need something to record into or microphone amp/pa system if you want to use it live.
"plosives"
Waste of time when u du shoot outs do voice not instruments because music overwhelms the mics
Thanks for watching and your feedback. The SM57 is actually an instrument mic and meant for music and not vocals. It can be used for vocals but needs an additional pop-filter to prevent plosives. :)
Ummm ... why the Shure SM57 and not SM58 as industry standard???
+Dimitri Milewicz because of the lack of pop shield. And my channel is called JT Guitar not JT Vocals.
