Hi guys, not sure where to post this but i'll try here.
First things first - I've been playing 20+ years, and owned a similar amount of guitars over that time. I play and record a cocktail of bluesy surf rockin' rockabilly reggae hillbilly jazz metal type stuff :naughty: :scratchch and cover everything from Van Halen, Brian Setzer, Sublime, Los Lobos, Vampire Weekend to good old Jimi. Most of the time playing strats through Fender-y amp presets on my Line 6 Flexitone III XL.
Anyway - I'm looking for a dual channel or stereo pre-amp to patch between my Flexitone amp's line-outs and a Mackie 820i desk unit. To be specific - a twin channel mic pre-amp with line level input options.
My only desires are for a single rack unit box, and an internal power supply (no seperate boxes). I already have a UA 610 Solo and a BAE 1073 DMP, they're both awesome pre-amps but only single-channel options. They both also add weight and girth to a signal when pushed - this time i want an option that works it's magic in the shimmer and sparkle departments : party: I also want to push my home studio into a new realm of capability (and self sufficiency).
I've been looking at an A-Designs Pacifica mainly, but i'm not much of a Gearslut, I don't really know what options are out there to suit. Money is OK for now, so I won't buy anything that won't last a lifetime, or won't hold it's value over time. But, my limit is drawn at $2000.
What awesome options (preferably that you've either owned or used heavily) can you throw at me?
