This is my first post here but I wondered if anyone had thought of this.

I bought a couple of these Tube mic preamps the other day for the express intent to use the cavern'ess room, inside the chassis, to mount two 1108 vintage mic preamps.

When one opens this thing up one finds so much room you could almost mount a couple of V72's and get away with it.

what's better or more beneficial. or if you wanna answer negatively. what's worse...

1. a great mic with just an ok mic preamp/channel strip?
2. a great mic preamp/channel strip with just an ok mic?

i'm sure some will say that it's relative and depends on which pieces of equipment you're working with, but i'm just looking for a general/"in most cases" answer.

hi all -

there's always a raging discussion about mic preamps and which ones are the "best",etc. - but that's usually from the point of the cleanest or purest "warm" sound, and usually for voice work.

but what about when you need a preamp for mics that are going to be on a bass cabinet or a guitar cabinet?

Hi!

my preamp has an effect send (tip=in / ring=out)

i want to use a compressor in the loop (tip=in / ring=out)

so i know i need a TRS cable, but it seems like ins and outs won't be lined up. do they make special cables for this? i'm not sure if i should jimmy one up myself and risk comprimising the quality.

wondering if i should upgrade my ghost's pres to burr browns. I have heard this a great mod. for this console or if i should invest in an external mic preamp's and where would i route the external pre into the ghost. possibly thru the channel insert?

Hello

I have been doing my research on 2 Mic preamps for my project studio
I want to have 2 different types of flavor ( solid state & tube ) for
R&B / Hip Hop /Funk /Jazz

Mics that I have – AT4050,4033, sm58,57,
And will buy more after testing with the new pres

I have come down to 2 I'm considering

Looking to expand the studio...

What flavor of mic preamps are best suited for the following:

The big, upfront, not bright but extremely clear vocal that cuts through and sits on top?

Giant guitars with all the fatness and sparkle anyone could want that somehow dominate the mix and yet get out of the way of the vocals?

Hi all. Got a question. ART mic preamps, are they any good?
I've read that Groove Tubes, "The Brick," rocks.
Specifically, I need a,"worthy" mic preamp that won't break the bank.
