I typically use 11 mics on my drums. 4 go into RME pres (on a FF800), 1 goes into a Pre73, the rest into an ART tube opto 8.
I am looking for at least another 4 pres. These would go to currently unused line-ins on the RME, and would result in me using less of the ART pres. I really like the sound of the Pre73 and am not looking for transparency/clarity in future preamps.
After a lot of searching it looks like there are no other 'coloured' preamp units in this entry-level professional area that have 4 preamps. And the only unit with 2 preamps seems to be used Vintech stuff. I would rather just get one 4-channel unit as there will be less cords, boxes, transport issues, etc.. and also I would not be paying for separate housings etc for each preamp. Any suggestions on a 4-XLR-in unit with coloured pres at a max of $350 per channel?
