    Ha! >Thanks Tom, I love you too< This whole thread is cracking me up. Alan, you just can't win for losing with some folks. In one set of threads you have some users who are about to deify you, in other threads (like this one) they are breaking out the tar and feathers. Sometimes when you...

    PMI/Digitech?????? >Actually it looks like its called the VTP -1 now....< Isn't that the name of Digitech's pre-amp? Yep I just checked, it's the Digitech VTP-1. Maybe the PMI pre should be called the ME2 instead :) :) :) Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530...

    DBX 576...Worth the money?

    Wow! That is a great deal! I wouldn't call it an entry level pre at all. The 576 is a mono pre-amp and mono compressor combo. You can use the pre and comp seperately or together. The 586 is a stereo pre-amp. Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530 tcram@dbxpro.com "Jazz...

    Raucous, Raw, Rock-n-Roll! Raucous, Raw, Rock-n-Roll! WARNING---WARNING---WARNING---WARNING---PERSONAL OPINION ALERT!!! I haven't heard the Amperex's in the 386, but I have heard the Tele's and Tung-sol's. The Tele's were very smooth with more noticeable compression than the Tung-Sol's. A...

    just got my dbx576.

    Try 'em... I use 12ax7's in both my 576 and my 386, and I like 'em. They sound more aggressive, and I get more gain before distortion. I do Rawk stuff so aggressive is good. Biasing is more important in power tubes than in pre-amp tubes, from what I understand. JimmyT I think your math is...

    just got my dbx576.

    It comes stock with 12au7's. But you can use any tube that shares the same pin format.

    just got my dbx576.

    Waitaminute... Make sure you change the tubes in that used 576. Who knows how old those puppies are. Other than that, I'm anxious to hear your conclusions.

    Compressor as Pre-Amp?

    Yes and No You could crank up the output gain, but this is not even close to ideal. It will screw up your S/N ratio something fierce and leave you no room for adjustment. I wouldn't recommend doing it even if you were in a pinch (that doesn't mean that I haven't done it though:)) Tom Cram...

    Alicia Keys...

    Agree/Disagree I agree that the reverb on that "Fallin'" song sounds like doo. It sounds like somebody strapped a tin can and string across the L/R outs...Yeeeech. I'm not too worried about the discontinuation of PARIS, I haven't had a need to contact the factory for a few years now anyway...

    ART 254 Preamp or dbx 286a Preamp?

    Really... >the consensus around here is that it will blow both of the preamps you mentioned out of the water< This is based on what exactly? Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530 tcram@dbxpro.com "Jazz, pfffft...They just make it up as they go along." -Homer Simpson-

    Whats the differance

    Yes and no. I think it was Harvey who mentioned that all the MXL V67 permutations are wired with Mogami. So in essence all of the V67 types are "M's." Saskatchewan Shredded Pork! It sounds like a bad band name.

    Whats the differance

    The V67m is the "Mars" version. Clever eh? Salt Lake is beautiful right now, all the leaves are gold, red, and dusky green. The mountains have a light sprinkle of snow on the peaks. The temperature has been in lower 70's. Perfect motorcycle riding weather. I wish it were eternally fall...

    New DBX mini mic pre???

    Me too... I can't even begin to tell you how much I despise desktop gear. But people like it for some odd reason. They do make great targets when I go out shooting though. PULL! Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530 tcram@dbxpro.com "Jazz, pfffft...They just make it up as...
