OK, here's a nice little tidbit for the techies in here, if anyone wants
it - I've got a couple of these little Tubey mic preamps:

Which you will see have a 'third knob' for 'ART's new V3 (Variable Valve
Voicing) Technology'...???

I've always ignored it and used it 'Flat' but what does it do? What's
actually happening/being done to the signal when it is turned through the
various 'instruments'? (I'll have to have a fiddle with it sometime!)

Having a fiddle with it will probably tell you immediately what
the presets are. Perthaps they have built in EQ and or compression?


A fiddle it's going to have to be!! :-)



Also, see: 'Excellent as a Tube DI XLR and 1/4" Inputs' - does this mean
I would/could run a keyboard or (dare I suggest it) a digital piano
through one of these with some expectations of success?

Yes. Switch off the phantom before plugging in or out.
There is a gain control bottom left.

Have fun



OK, here's tonight's fun - Swim Bo got a Duets book today, so here she is
playing with hers... - never mind:

Hideous yet strangely compelling, eh?

:-)

I can't tell you what a faff they were to do with only two tracks to play
with and having to stretch tracks to match on one of them- first job was
record the bloody metronome (twice)!!

Now, breaking news: Amazon MP3 anyone?

Or is it old hat?

(I wonder if they got mine and decided to start a new business section with
them???)
