I think the great river is possibly the most versatile pre on the planet and if i ever come into money I would use them as the bulk of my front end setup. Tons of headroom for a nice big clean sound or drive the input and scrape the ceiling for some that intimate warmth. Loading switch is an added bonus and when drive with the load switch in I get a 1081 vibe which I love. Its just a little more compact. Impedance switch allows for any mic to feel at home. Can't say enough about it, but versatility is only one of its many features. Throw a lavry AD10 at the end and you are in business for that sound you are looking for.
