The 9098 pre/EQ sounds WAY better then the mic amp on the Big. It's a totally different circuit with transformer I/O and a lot more headroom, more open sounding and generally...just has more 'balls' and the CIB again is more musical and bigger.

But really, if you're looking for something that sounds like the mic amps on a Big, well...pretty much anything will be equal or better. I always thought those desks sounded like a Smackie. Maybe one of those Aphex things would do 'ya well, but I'd look for something better.

YMMV.
