| sounds to me like you really love the 512 sound: )~ nothing wrong their, as mention hard not to love.
the MONO GAMA can excel as can the API or a great many other pres.
i have used the GAMA set on STEEL, coupled with a RE-15 just off the grill of a 62 Brown Princeton, a great TELE SLING-IN string spank-in freak right on the edge of get-in all that little amp will give,,, and if that don't sound pretty freaking awesome. well it ain't the GAMA: )~
the NICKLE setting is one of my favorites, love it on acoustics, vocals, and yes, snare drum.
the DISCREET is great for some acoustic stuff as well.
think about how the 512 fits nicely inside the sound of the GAMA and use that to the advantage it is.
some songs, some vocal, API straight up.
some songs, some vocal, GAMA straight up.
