Great River Pres
Hi there !
I'm going to add another pre to the arsenal of mine. Great River seems to be a good choice from what I heard so far. I cannot get all of their pres home for testing, but only one. That's why I would like to know what's the sound difference between MP-2NV, MP-2 and MP-2MH to decide which one to take home. Could someone please compare the sound to a Vipre which I already have? Thanx in advance! kubi |

Thanx in advance! kubi I can't compare it to a Vipre, but my MP2MH is wonderful. I would say that it is extremely transparent and I prefer it for use on acoustic work. the MH has output transformers which the other model does not have. Yopu can come out of the preamp using either transformer or transformerless. The MH offers both and is my choice. Richard H. Kuschel "I canna change the law of physics."-----Scotty |

What preamps do you have now? 1. DBX386 2. SPL Goldmike (to be replaced by another pre. Most probable GR-2NV odr 2MH, let us see) 3. GT Vipre kubi |

The preamp is going to be used 50% on vocals, 45% as a DI-Box for synths and stuff and 5% for acoustic instruments as I mostly do dance and pop. The Vipre which I Already have is great on vocals, but could be better on instruments. That's why I'm looking for a pre without that warm tube sound and dual channel. kubi Get the NV. www.monsterisland.com |

I'll go out on the limb and say get the MP2-MH; it's just one hell of a preamp in the transparent realm for pres that have transformers up front. The NV is also a fabulous pre, but one of its strong points is the degree of coloration one can inject. Reads to me like you feel you have that covered. I could be wrong, and it's not as if the NV can't also get pretty clean. The coloration it offers varies through degrees of subtle, and at certain gain ranges it approaches the MH for cleanliness. But the MH delivers that cleanliness throughout its available gain range, and to my ear, is a fabulous thing very often. -- hank alrich * secret mountain audio recording * music production * sound reinforcement "If laughter is the best medicine let's take a double dose" |

I bought the NV model because of the "insert point" which makes it
easy to put a compressor into the chain. Works for the way I work, which relies on plugins / Pro Tools vs. analog processing. Modest, but functional. good luck! dave |
