Sounds good that the older ones are supposed to be better.. Thanks for the input on that.

The stuff I recorded with the c-800g didn't sound thin to me, but that might be the combo more than the pre speaking. The guys that own the combo I worked on does real good work too, IMO, and they also record through that chain.

I currently own a Tube-Tech MP1-A which I really dig for the more beefy-yet-clean purposes, but I'm looking to get a good solid-state pre that will allow me to get "thick" vocals without having the tube signature absolutely all over the vocal stacks.

I don't know the Chandler, but I'm pretty sure the Great River isn't what I want.
