Just wanted to drop a line about the DMP-3 since this is the site that I looked to while I was shopping for a mic pre. I had this other one picked out but after reading all of these rave reviews about the DMP-3 I went with that one. I am really glad I did that because it has served me well as a mic pre. But here's the thing, I play a Heritage 535 deluxe model (that I've broken in well over the past 9 years or so, its a killer ax) through an Analogue Man modded TS-9 into a 1970 Fender Deluxe. Its a very sweet sound. About six weeks ago I stupidly left my amp on a couch and when somebody sat down it fell. The result was that I had to get the speaker reconed. It was very heart breaking news at the time. I immediately shipped the speaker off but I couldn't wait an entire month or more to get it back so I dropped a replacement "12 speaker in. It still sounded pretty good but it lost a lot of warmth. So while brain storming it hit me that I should try the DMP-3 and see what happens. It has turned out to be amazing. Not only did it improve my "replacement" tone 100 times over, but now that I got my old speaker back its even better. It has turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I probably never would have tried my mic pre in my guitar rig had that not happend. Just wanted to share the thought. Peace everybody!
 
It goes guitar => Tuner => Wah Wah => TS-9 => DMP-3 => Amp... Sometimes I switch the Wah and TS-9 around and I also have a few random pedals I throw in from time to time. lately I've been running the same chain into an A/B switch then (both signals) into the DMP-3 then one into the 1970 Deluxe and the other into a 1970 Princeton. That's REALLY sweet!
