Probably same as svart the API 312 is my desert-island preamp. It just sounds like what I want everything to sound like. I have other preamps that are more spectacular on this or that source... but nothing else that you could use just about everywhere. It's utilitarian in the best way. That said, I think my 'dream rack' of drum pres (maybe the next 5 years I'll get it) is 8 Neve and maybe 4 API. Really love gar381's op amps as well! ;-D |

It was a joke...although, it's quite the little bass DI

I love so many different pres for different reasons, but for most stuff, I usually gravitate to a Neve-ish style pre - Neve, Great River, AML, Wunder. Now that I’ve also used the REDD Mic - I’d love to get a REDD 47 pre and some V72/V76 stuff in here to use.

Gml is in daily use here. Friend's room down the street uses Hardy M1's and I've tracked a lot there and I find them fantastic as well.

Lots of good stuff here....anyone in the cleaner camp get a chance to try the Teegarden stuff? I really dig what I heard at a friend's place recently. My favorite clean pres are my DAVs....super quiet and realistic while still sounding sweet. I could make a whole record with them no problem, although sometimes I do lust over a little more hair on the signal. I do have an Electrodyne 2501 on hold at the moment...I’m hoping that will be my silver bullet between clarity and color.

As much as I am a Neve & CAPI, John Hardy M1 with Transformer, you can rock with it you can do Classical with it!

Oh and might I also mention the VP 26. It's probably not as glam as some of the aforementioned but it's certainly like Novocain. Works every time.
