Glad you got a kick out of it. As you can see from my second post, I was partially joking. I did buy one and sold it because it was my least favorite out of the pre's I used. When I originally shared my opinion on Gearslutz, I got FLAMED by many, many people. It was like I ran over their pet dog or something. They seemed to take it deeply personally that I didn't personally care for their favorite pre. I found the whole thing kind of funny. Hope that explains further. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get to use one again on different sources and I'll like it more. So much gear is great in certain situations and not great in others. Funny place this Gearslutz.

All 80's tube peavey 6L6 amps
All solid state amps besides the Randall
Ensoniq MR-61 (Junk compared to earlier DS1 & TS-10)
Ross Mic's
Mesa Boogie Quad Preamp

Like older marshall tube and new Rivera hand crafted tube amps
Newer Yamaha workstations are super. Still like sm57, beta58,
for mic cabs etc.. and middle upper sennheiser and countryman mics
for vocals.

I dont think plugins suck at all, I think you need to get your head out of your ass and start using them as TOOLS not magic boxes that fix shitty recording and inadequate mixing talent.

Sweeeet.

yea, hate that shit too. especially clones. I despise the ward beck 460 pres (which are clones in one sense of the word) that I'm borrowing from a friend. just godawful. would never recommend them to anybody. in fact, anyone paying money for these should be shot.

To assist in ridding the world of clone crap, I personally will pay all shipping and handling for clones of ssl/neve/1176/la2a/pulltec and so on so you can get rid of it. I'll receive it and you can be sure that it will die a horrible death in the rack in my home studio. I assure you they will never leave my studio so you won't have to ever see that terrible gear again. ;-)

Cheers,
Don
