There's been some recent discussion about mic preamps, so I wanted to try something fun with you all. I captured IRs of the same mic placement through six different popular analog mic preamps to see if you have any preference or if you can tell which mic pre was used for a certain option. You're hearing a total of $9,000 worth of high end outboard mic preamps through $5,000 worth of mastering grade conversion without any EQ or post-processing of any kind, so you're hearing an honest and accurate representation of each mic preamp's color and personality.
The IR is based on a 4x12 loaded with Greenbacks mic'd with a single 57. So pull up an amp, dial it in to sound good with the IR, and try them all. I'm curious to hear what you guys think.
The .zip contains SYX files for easy drag n' drop into your Fractal's User Cab slots.
Enjoy!
