Just wondering why the GML mic preamps go almost un-talked about on this forum? I cant seem to find out much about them on the net either. whats up with that? is anybody using them for a specific application? (i.e...API is known for being a great drum pre)... anybody"in the know" have a coment on the things? . .

The GML preamps are the cleanest, least-colored preamps I've ever used (at least that's the way I heard them). Their EQ was the same...when I was using it I had to continually hit the "bypass" button to make sure it was really engaged, as I didn't hear all of those artifacts that you typically hear with an equalizer. It's not cheap, and if you like preamps with a "sound" these aren't the ones for you, but if you really want to hear the sound of the microphone you're using, or the sound of the source, they'd be a great choice. If I had a pair I'd probably use them on overheads (I like more colorful preamps on the individual drums and room microphones), acoustic instruments, and maybe vocals if I wanted a really clean sound. I'd imagine they'd work very well on ensemble recording as well, although I didn't have the chance to try them out that way.
