I have an Apollo Twin interface, and pretty much have to max out the inputs on its preamp to get a usable level out of an SM7B. So I was wondering if I could use my Axe-Fx II in place of a CloudLifter, to add some more clean gain to the mic before it hits the preamp?
If this will work, would you recommend plugging the mic into the front instrument input, or the rear (balanced) input? I’ve heard that the front input has a lower noise floor. But the rear input being “balanced” has its advantages too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
