Bump!! Are the A-design P500 or burl b1 something like the tg2? I also seen the JLM have the TG500...any other?

actually, JLM audio has a TG500 unit for around $900..

i've heard nothing but great things about his pres..

there is also a neve type, and a hardy type.

From JLM site:
* TG500 mic pre is a 2 FET 6 transistor Class A design giving 75dB of gain. It is based on early NEVE, BBC, EMI gear simple transistor gain stages fully redesigned to includes heaps of extra useful features and to run on API+/-16v rails (run fully symmetrically so output head room is not lost and no DC to DC inverters are needed) Uses modern easy to get transistors and our custom audio transformers. It is NOT a EMI TG clone but to compare the tone to a EMI it is fatter, smoother sounding and has more clarity in the low mids than a Neve 1073. It is the go to pre for Electric Guitars. And if you want old school tone all over your recording that will gel it together without turning everything to mud this is the one.
