Steady on chaps
First, it is standard practice to add EQ and compression as you record - it completely changes the way you perform and interact with the mic. Secondly EQ and compression of the standard in the Origin is not possible with plugins and it is always better to get the sound right at source. Are you saying you don't use EQ and compression on tracks recorded with the BG1 - surely not!
And YES sorry but just listening to the direct out of the Origin and the BG1 I found the BG1 to lack magic and be a bit flat SORRY but that's what I felt - if you found different comparing an Origin STT-1 and a BG1 so be it.
The BG1 reminded me of my Focusrite Green 2 in that it is typical of IC based clean EQ's.
As I said for the money it is a bargain - that is without doubt. IMHO the Origins SS pre is a more exciting involving sound and brought out of the Bottle B7 capsule a magic and sheer presence the BG1 could definately not equal.
As ever - as ever YMMV.
