OK I just made a recording of vocals and guitar now im late!
Here is the deal there are two takes and each take used two MK012's each plugged into a different pre "firestudio pre/golden age pre"
The GAP pre73 was turned up using clean gain, I never turned it up past 40, it starts to add harmonic distortion at about 55-60. Which is considered the color, so this test is only to compare the reular clean gain..
GUITAR:

As far these mk012's go the difference to me is negligible and not worth 300 so far. I will crank up the color and use some other mics later this weekend.
