Warning... Mini-hijack!

Dave, I'm interested in whether anyone has done any decent comparison test between the mic pre's in the arrangers, and what is in a modest mixer (Mackie VLZ, etc.).

I am pretty sure I can here quite a difference between my G70's pre's and most other gear I use (Mackie VLZ, Mackie Onyx, Yamaha EMC series, API and SSL in the studio), but have never seen a posted test.

I am almost convinced to buy a dedicated pre (maybe Joe Meek Voice Channel, with EQ and Comp) and use the line ins for the mic (if I ever get around to using the Harmonizer much - got a singer with me at the moment).

What do you think?

And now, back to our regular scheduled programming....
