Thread Starter | Pacifica hi gain???
all, i just bought a pacifica a few weeks ago.....and one of the first things i noticed, apart from the killer sound, was that the gain is screaming straight out of the box. I had to engage the pad to track a male vocal, which I'm not as used to having to do with some other pres. Seems like it's already got maybe 30-35 db of gain at the zero mark. Anyone else noticed this? has it been a problem for anyone? Thanks. |

They sound really musical. They are not transparent. They are velvety and detailed. It's like a less agressive API. Kind of, but not really. Brad |

I'll repeat my now copyrighted endorsement: "....it was like pouring warm, white chocolate all over the vocal track." Peter, you should go ahead and post this to your site. Hahahahaha!!!!!!!! |

No problem for me. Tons of sources sound better with the pad in and the gain cranked anyway.
