Description

Based on the preamps found in old Neve 1073 modules, Great River added a twist. While the circuit is basically the same, different components were chosen for a lower noise floor, an extended frequency response and better bass clarity. While the unit sounds similar to a 1073, the user experiences a larger, more open sound field which is especially helpful if you are storing your audio in the digital domain.

Great River impedance?

A buddy of mine let me borrow his Great River Mp2nv and I fell in love with the thing however there is one thing bothering me. When he's tracking a song from his motif xs to Pro Tools he always has the impedance switch in. He's tracking everything from kick, snare, guitars, bass, piano pretty much everthing is with the impedance switch on.

Is this a good thing?

Great River MP-2NV vs MP-2MH

I am more or less sold on Great River pres and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has done the a/b on the MP-2NV vs the MP-2MH.

I am interested to record acoustic instruments, mostly bluegrass-style with ribbon and condensor mics. Mainly dobro & Weissenborn guitar, but also acoustic fingerstyle guitar and mandolin.

My current equipment is

API, UA210, Great River MP2NV pre's in classical music?

Hi guys, I posted this question in another forum and was directed here. I'm considering getting another pre to add to the rack. I mostly do pop, rock, hard rock, jazz, country etc but I do have a project of classical music coming up. I know the API 3124+ and UA pre's would be great for the rock stuff but how about classical? I have the MP2NV which sounds great but I need more channels.

Great River MP-2NV or Universal audio 2-610

ok Guys, the budget is now available and I need to decide which preamps am I going to buy. Thanks to Kurt and some other useful members Ive practically narrowed it down to two pre amps, the Great River MP-2NV and the Universal Audio 2-610 tube preamps. My main clients are Rock, alternative, metal and hard core bands, lots of distortion, heavy drums, screaming vocals, the works!

The Tale of a Plexi, a Mp-2nv, and a C42

Hello all,
I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to mic a 50 watt plexi with 25 watt greenbacks. I was shooting for a tone ala Angus Young. You know the deal, Gibson Sg--->Marshall--->Mic--->Pre--->Tape. I had the Plexi set to 3 1/2. Not that it made much difference, my ears are still bleeding and the neighbors are rioting outside my door.
