Hope you guys don't mind a post about a mic pre that costs under $200.
Maybe it could be partly (or wholly) my relative lack of experience
however with that disclaimer...
This thing sounds great to me!
It can be run totally solid state, it also has a separate "tube blend"
feature. Even if you aren't enamored with the tube starved sort of
thing, keep in mind that it can be run solid state independently.
Wouldn't be surprised if the more experienced members here compare
it favorably to the 'big name" pre's, and I would be very interested in any
feedback after you try it.
Not an employee, or family member here BTW, just thought fellow
gearslutz might want to check this thing out.
