I need a preamp for vocals and guitars. Options inside.

[Erik Monsonis]

Hello!!

I need a dual channel preamp to record guitars (dual sm57) and vocals (T Bone SCT800 tube mic).

I considered recording the guitars to the preamps on the Focusrite Octopre LE, but the guitar player would like it to be in different (and better) preamps. So, It's him whos gonna spend the money in pre's so, what would you suggest?

We've considered these three options (he will spend up to 800€ on it).

This time I've searched before, but it seems all the info is about the single-channel preamps

If you have any other pre to suggest, I'm open!!

Thanks!!!

FMR RNP gets my vote!

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Look into the rnp, the black lion audio auter or the DAV BG1.

Thanks Joe! I'm researching on those too

Lasse, where are you??

RMP for just pres or the toft box if you need an eq.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Thanks!! Any other suggestions?? Isn't there anything better up to 800€?

Don't want to hijack your thread, but can anybody tell if the HI-Z inputs on the RNP are as good as a good DI Box?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

^ Intersting question as well.

So, RNP wins? 445€ from Thomann.de

Whatever you get, can you do a pre shootout? We'd lovez you if you did

I really want to hear the difference between interface pre's and something like the RNP.

I'd look for a used Vintech Dual 72, it's amazing for both vocals and guitars. I got mine for $800 USD (EBay) so I'm sure you could find one for 800€.

Save your money and invest it later on when you saved up money for Top of the line preamps. Octopre LE is a really good preamp, and if you are gonna hear any difference you need to go API-ish.
