Hokay, so it's time for me to upgrade as far as sonic quality in the preamp department. I hear a lot of good things about various pre's, but don't really know how to go about trying them out, considering the only way to get most of them is through the internet (zzsounds, ebay, etc). So my options are limited as to being able to choose one whose sound I really like.
so, for the $300-$500 budget, what would a good investment be? I've heard good things about the Presonus Eureka, "The Brick," the M-Audio Tampa, all sorts of Joe Meek stuff, etc etc. I like that most of these have EQ/compression, which are good to have. But in the end, i have no idea what it is that would work best for me. definitely shooting for a rack unit, EQ/Compression is a plus, and a versitile sounds is important (i'd rather have something that sounds decent on a lot of applications versus something that only sounds really good on a few)
I'd be doing mainly guitars (electric and acoustic), vocals, and whatnot, since I run my drums through something else.
So yeah, any help would be wonderful.
