Hey guys,

Lookin for a solid 2 channel mic preamp, with some eq. compression would be nice but not a must. mostly for drums, kick snare typething. if its sweet on other stuff then even better. No tubes. something that sounds sort of like 'f**k you'.

any good/bad words on the joemeek twinq, or toft stuff?

I'm looking in the $700-$1400 range.

suggestions would be wicked!

thanks!

For that "Fuck You" slammin' 2 channel solid state you might wanna check out the Hamptone JFET at hamptone.com

You can have one built for around $800 and it's a dream on drums.

or the Sytek MPX-4Aii. It's 4 channels for for less than 1k you can get 2 channels with the Burr Brown opamps that rock for drums.

thans for all the replies guys.

FWIW, I haven't used a single combo mic-pre/eq/comp that I've liked all parts of. Better to use single units that do one thing well.

good call. i think ill focus on the mic pre thing, since that is something a daw just can't do, no matter how sweet your plugs are.

the Sytek MPX-4Aii is looking the most attractive in terms of value, anyone else had some good experiences with it?
