I don't like the Ribbon version of the P-Solo, because it doesn't have phantom power, so it's good for ribbons and ribbons only. Will the regular version of the P-Solo have enough gain to drive a Fat Head?

The other pre I'm considering is the Grace m101, which I know will take care of all my needs, but I'm not convinced that that Grace m101 will sound better than the P-Solo.

Any advice is appreciated, especially about the gain on the reg P-Solo used with a ribbon mic. thanks!
I just got my m101 2 months ago and it's great...I, like you was also stck between the two..but after useing the SEARCH function I found that the p-solo was not as good...and I am very happy with my decision...hope that helps!!

PS..you also have 70db of gain with the m101...just incase you get a sm7b one day....
