| I think too much credit is being given to the equipment used and not the artist's who performed these songs. You could probably get the same result with a Mackie preamp. Give me Snoop, a SM57 and a Mackie and it's still going to sound like Snoop.
The 737 is not a horrible piece of gear... it is a lackluster preamp combined with a really good EQ, and mediocre compressor. Better results may have been achieved with better gear. Like a more colorful preamp, a faster compressor, more modern converters, etc. But at the end of the day, Snoop will sound like Snoop through whatever you put in front of him.. |
