James, I can't tell you how glad I am that we had that talk.

Rednose · 11th October 2008, 07:24 PM

Thanks James, now that I officially have a lunchbox and a 512c to be here tuesday, I'm stoked~!
BTW, your tune "Around The World In 30 Days" almost gave me a heart attack.
I was crankin it and my girlfriend snuck up behind me to say, let go!
If your a fan of crankin rock, do yourself a favor and check out James tune~!

Hey James
What were your favorites? if you answered that question already let me know what post it is.

Great Job!

Thanks

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 12th October 2008, 12:44 AM

Personally I love the LaChapell 583s, Montessi Red, MA5 and 512c the best. Again, they all sound cool and are useful.

indie · 12th October 2008, 01:02 AM

Good grief... the MA5 and the SH Nickel setting on electric gtr is INSANE.
Thanks for doing this James!

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 12th October 2008, 01:31 AM

I hope this help you guys out.

... there should be some sort of honour for this sort of 'beyond the call of duty' endeavour.

Melodioso · 12th October 2008, 01:22 PM

I can't imagine how much time this must have taken. A big THANKS, you are a true philanthropist and gearslutz, Lord James!

Although I'm not in "shopping mode" for a new pre, I particularly enjoyed the Mono Gama and the LaChapelle 583... no, no, I must resist!

wildpark · 12th October 2008, 01:33 PM

Neon Heart · 12th October 2008, 02:14 PM

Thanks so much for uploading them again!

I'm a fan of the 583s now.

futur2 · 12th October 2008, 02:22 PM

gama nickel on most everything, ma5 on male vox, 583s on female and acoustic, but all of them all over good. AND p1 on electric guitar!

a pity that the juggernaut didn't make it in time. i know that there's this other shootout james provided but not quite the same.
would also have been great to hear the burl!

ps: there's also this issue of different levels that makes it difficult to judge. 512 is always softer e.g.
pps: i know it's not really possible with that many pres but a splitter before the pre and say 4 pre's with the exact same performance would be awsome. performance is very often more important than the pre...

wildpark · 12th October 2008, 04:24 PM

thanks too james again but the shootout is now like

what is the best pre ever out there on.

so i have too say that

iam a fan

from my gamm4 st ives mod

my original v76s

and the martech mss1 pre

but thats it.

well i think it's a little hard to tell from these files if some of the 500s could compete with your favorites or not. who knows if you tried them yourself.

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 12th October 2008, 06:42 PM

If I had my studio to do all over again I would start with an 11 space 500 series rack. 11 space rack filled with; LaChapell 583s, Montessi Blue, Red and P1, MA5, 512 and SH... and a seperate 1073... game over.

**Jules** · 12th October 2008, 10:13 PM

If I had my studio to do all over again I would....

For the past days I was wondering which pres to buy soon... my two 512cs are feeling a bit lonely...

Michael Zick · 12th October 2008, 11:38 PM
