Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - i used a c4000 through some dbx 2ru tube channel strip (sorry i can't find the model number, i think it is a little old) for some vocals one time, and it sounded very full and alive. i think with a good preamp sta I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...

Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - but with the seb 4000e you can just loop hiout the the hiin on so you can use all four pres in the same chain and give it a true multi gain stage I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...

Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - hey skan, i haven't used the sebatron - it's on my short list, but many things are ahead of it (it's a long short-list... :lol: ) from what i can tell, the sebs have only one gain stage. meaning, the level o I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...

Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - [quote:ae0c9b05bc=''cucco''] instead of the usual ''tube gain'' that increases or decreases the voltage to the plate, the summit has seperate gain stages and seperate outputs for tube and solid state.[/quote:ae0c9 I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...

Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - i don't mean to sound like a broken record here, but: summit 2ba-221. it's around $500 and it sounds amazing. it's also one of the more versatile mic pres i've ever used. instead of the usual ''tube gai I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...

Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - i don't know the sebatron, or it's price - though i didn't think you could get one for 500 dollars us - but, if you don't need all the buttons of a channel strip, i'll bet it will be fine. my main reasons for I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...

Best pre around 500 us for akg c4000b? - may i add the following question...which is probably more the important issue here: based on the premise that the preamp is just as important than the mic, is the c4000 a decent enough mic that i should be happy I'll be the first to say it, but probably not the last. for your budget, get the groovetubes the brick. i own one and its the best $400 i spent on a pre. i've heard people getting them for even $350. you will definitely...
