Doesn't work for eveything (obviously), and it's not cheap, but it does sound great. For a cleaner EQ sound I might use a Focusrite ISA 110 for the EQ (and probably the pre as well, it's supposed to be the exact same pre).
I forgot my Manley Ref-C mic, Focusrite ISA 430, Summit Audio MPC-100A, Oxford EQ with The GML option for Pro-Tools.

I can not get a good vocal or acoustic guitar sound through my ISA 430?!?

The ISA 430 is great on bass and Electric & Distorted guitars, so Ido not know if i should keep this piece or not. My summit MPC-100A feels like everithing put through it gets soft and muddy, but the compressor is extremely fast for being a hybrid with tubes. So maybee this piece of gear will be sold to. Daking on the other hand is extremely good sounding on Vocals and Aucoustic guitars, but sounds like crap on electric & distorted guitars?!?

So the million dollar question is to sell or to keep?
