Well I picked up the Masive Passive today and had a chance to run some stuff viz PTools through it.

Gorgeous, and though I know it's an overused term...musical. Picked it up "brand new used" at guitar Center (yuk) in San Diego for 2500. bucks. Next up are 3 or four flavors of mic pre and a couple really good compressors. I put $$ down on the new little Summit limiting amp as well. Any suggestions on the Pre's and compressors would be appreciated. We know that a couple Distressors are a definate as they are often requested. But for that very special vocal chain......Manley, Cranesong, DBX blue?? Thanks, Craig
