Seeker of Rock
The One and Only
I know, this should go in the rack, but a lot of those guys are fronting digital systems and probably look for different qualities in their preamps. You guys have always helped me and given good answers and advice to my questions as well as having maybe a better fix on what pre would do well with and analog setup.I've been meaning to upgrade for awhile from my Joe Meek MQ3, which I still love the sound of, but I probably need to step up to something new. Any thoughts? I like the MQ3 and maybe one of the higher end pres or recording channels? I know a lot of people tend to like meek for their compressors, not so much as preamps. Anyway, I may double post in the rack...maybe not. There are probably hundreds of posts, at least tens that I have seen on this subject. I would need to stay in the $1000 range preferrably, less is better, more if it was absolutely in my best interest but keeping in mind I'm using this to record my own stuff only, not a full time studio, and the price difference from $1000 to $1500 for a little extra sparkle may not be worth it to me as it would to someone with a killer room(s) and first class equipment.
BTW, my style is basic rock and roll, 'classic' rock style if you will, most of the time drums, bass, guitars and vocals, sometimes just acoustic and vocals.
