So I pulled the trigger on a GR. Like it so far. How are you running it Jonah, clean, colored, in-between? |

Hei Rob,
I have been using my GR for over a year now. Think I finally have a nice sounding audio chain with the Lewitt LCT 940 into the GR into the Audient iD22 for the converters, and then to the mac mini.
If you want to hear samples there a a couple of them posted in a link just below called, "Eureka I found it!"
Using just the impedence on mine. Works for me.
Have also used it with the SM7B before and it works well.
Nice choice!
Mac

| Thanks Mac. I think the GR is very useable and versatile. I've heard some say it is too colored and it definitely CAN be colored heavily, but so far I'm finding it delivers a clear, lush tone with the right settings. |

my LDC of choice is a Neumann, and it really seems to benefit the most
from the mojo that this pre brings to the table.
My 416 I think works better through this pre with things on the cleaner side
For anyone considering it, for me this pre works quite well for VO as long as you tailor the settings to the mic you're using. |

Hi, Rob,
Yes, I was curious as I'm looking at this preamp also. You and Jonah talked about running clean vs. ... something else. Is this by varying the input/output?

yeah. Less output=colored, more output=cleaner
I'll email you a couple of files. |

Rob, the colouration you're describing depends on how hard you hit the input transformer doesn't it? Obviously if you have your output cranked up then you're hitting the input more softly (less colour).

yes, that would be it.
To my ear even the color end of the spectrum on this thing is still pretty clean, but then again I used to use an LA 610 so my perception of clean and colored may be a bit skewed |

| btw in case I didn't mention it before, this pre is the best friend that a Shure SM7 ever had....with my voice, room and signal chain it puts the mic into an entirely new league |
