Great River: $1300
ProFire 610: $400
Good Rapper: Priceless
Just curious.

Which inputs on the ProFire610 did you use to connect the Great River?

Inputs 1&2 are Mic/Inst inputs which run thru mic pres.

Inputs 3&4 are TRS line level inputs.

If you used 1 or 2 for the GR, then you would have been running a preamp into another preamp and that doesn't sound very good.
