Hi Guys... I've been experiencing some distortion problems with my NT1 (I thought) for a few weeks... At a Gig last Friday a friend of mine wanted to borrow my ART-TubeMP preamp... He loved the sound... The problem is about half way through the warm-up, his acoustical guitar started to distort terribly... My first thought was the Tube - Releived and upset because the NT1 was not damaged, I took the Tube-MP into the shop to have it checked...
Low and behold - 3 days later, I get it back with a little note on it saying that everything is fine... Hmm...
I took it home and tried it... No distortion at this point, But I still am not getting ANY clip signal from the one Indicator on the box...
I'm beginning not to trust this little box...
SO - My question is - Is there anyone out there who has compared the low cost pre-amps on the market and come up with one that they are happy with that is along the lines of the TubeMP... I've heard the "blue" something or other for 150.00 Bucks is really nice... But, I haven't encountered anyone who's used them and can make a valid comparison... OR - What about that Behringer, thingy? Any Good?
Please comment,
