I notice that the words "then" and "than" are used for each other. Thought it was a typo for awhile, but the continued misuse makes me think that it is really intentional. As in " I'd rather use a Neve 1073 then a Vintech anyday".
So, you're going to use the Neve and patch a Vintech behind it in series? Or use one and after that use the other? Or were you trying to state a preference? A preference would seem to indicate the use of the word "than". I often have to read statements several times to figure out what the poster intended. OK, I got my little pet peeve off my chest. Going to get off the computer than go to work. Cheers, Rick
