I just got my Davisound amp today.... It's a beauty.. By far the best looking piece of gear in my studio...
I checked it out, and did a very quick and rushed A/B test, just to make sure it worked and to measure it's quality...
I spent exactly 5 minutes doing this "test" so im not claiming it to mean anything or be scientific in any way...
Mic: 4033
Recorded a take of vocals with my mackie..... Sounded as good as It usually does... I like it...
Then I tracked the same line with the Davisound.. It was like night and day... The mackie sounded Tinny and thin....
Davisound was crisp and had this nice bottom end that the mackie was lacking..... I don't mean the usual "boxy" bottom end you hear with lower priced Pre's... I mean a nice clean fat bottom end....
So anyways... I was sort of miffed that my Mackie was so lacking, and I was sure the EQ was fucked up or something, I looked at it. and the Strip that the mic was going through had a bit of high and low eq added...
The Davisound was flat.. (there is no eq on the unit)....
Sooooo....... what am I trying to say..??
The Davisound was more fat in the bottom end and defined in the highs, than the mackie was... Even though the Mackie was eq'ed with ADDED bass and highs....
Interesting huh...
As I said... this is my first take.... And by far nowhere near scientific.....
In fact it's sort of silly comparing a 2 channel dedicated Pre to a small mixing board....
But to me it meant alot, cause even though I have been getting along just fine with the Mackie, Im delighted to find something for much less than $1000 that blows it away, and will probably allow me to mix my vocals with no eq (flat)... I always had to add alot of eq with the mackie on mixdown...
