I can buy a Four channel Sytek or a two Channel Sebatron for around the same price. Obviosly these are two different animals with different flavors. And I alredy have one Sytek.

I've seen a couple of posts on this forum from people who like the four channel Sytek mic preamp, but not much else about it anywhere else. The couple of people that did post short messages about it have not responded to my efforts to get more info on them - so I'll ask the larger group.

I tracked a college rock band this past weekend and I grew a bit fustrated with the limited headroom on my Sytek mic preamp's.

I used them on a SRW bass cabinet/RE-20, a fender amp/M-88, snare/57, and kick/TLM-103. I had to move the kick to a different mic preamp because it would overload with the gain all the way down. The mic was about 3-4 feet in front of the kick.

Any experience with these? Looking for something for straight-up acoustic recordings...

Everyone who checks this thread probably already knows the reputation and sound of the mpx4a. The four channels are all the same. The manual and power cord are included.Its in excellent condition.

I want a BLUE blueberry or comparable mic.

If anyone has hands on with both, which is more detailed? Which would you choose if you could only have one? (not counting the fact that the Sytek is 4 channel). Does the Langevin have a good "iron" sound to it, or is it more transparent?
Also, is the new Great River mp2nv as detailed as the original, or is it way different? Which do you prefer?
