Wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to test the True Precision 8 Preamp. I have heard good things about them. Kurt do you have any knowledge of them?

We have one at work and to be quite honest, there's not much to praise, IMO. Clean and neutral, but the one drawback we quiver about here is that there are no pad switches, which makes drum tracking less-than-ideal. I'd go with 2 of the 4-channel Sebatron units instead. Although, depending on what you need it for, the True P8 might be your ticket.

I have not had the pleasure of hearing the True pres ... I guess they are supposed to be pretty neutral sounding .. as you know, not what I look for in a mic pre.

The True Systems P8 is not my favorite either...however the P2 Analog is....why theyre different, i got no clue but they are...quite a bit....I love the P2 on acoustic instruments ..perhaps there-by avoiding the Hi-Gain feature.....But then I like the neutral sounding pres on acoustic instruments as they sound like the instrument and not the electronic path to the recorder.....unless of course you really like the sound of a 1/2" thick plywood topped guitar and need a Neve or API pre to get anything resembling life out of it.....but then thats just my ISANSHFOTNWSFY.
