Has anyone tried a Tampa with a Fathead? On paper, it seems like it might be a good way to go.

Anyone?
It seems like you really want to like the Fathead....but maybe it's just not the right match for your voice and the sound you want? Have you heard it through a higher end preamp that leads you to believe it's an issue with your preamps?

Personally I'd look for a new mic before a different low end preamp, way more choices for mics in that price range that will provide a much different sound for you. For preamps, I invested in an SCA chassis and an N72. I recently added an A12. Basically any time I want a new external preamp it's going to run me $300 or less....and they sound amazing. Perfect for someone looking to add one nice preamp at a time without dropping a ton of coin.

Oh and +1 to using the fathead on a guitar amp...
