Any experience with the Audio-Technica 3035 for sax recording?

How's it compare to AT 2020 or Shure KSM 27 or SM57or Marshall V6?

I've used the 3035 on tenor through a 12AX7 tube pre channel, also through Mackie 8Bus pres. I also use a 4050. They're both good, with the 3035 being a little warmer sounding. I also use it on guitar cabs and it's my secret weapon for female vocals. I need to buy another one! Great mic for the money.

Thanks for the feedback

Interesting, the only I review I have seen was in Recording Mag and it was reasonably positive. Any links? I'd like to read more.

That sounds like an HC rating scale. Is it?

been trying some mics. So far the SM57 and AT 3035 are my choice (haven't tried a Marshall yet). I can't believe how "dead" that AKG C 1000 is compared to any of these, even a cheapAvlex D 73 and an olf Fostex!

Hoping to get ahold of a Marshall soon but it may turn out all I need is the old tried-and-true 57! It sure is clean. The AT has a bit more "warmth" but with a touch of post eq I could almost exactly match it with the 57.
