I was. Can't remember the model, and didn't have musch time to put it
through its paces, but the Symetrix wiped the floor with it.

The low-end tube pres I've seen all seem to use a 12AX7 tube running
at what I guess is fairly low voltage (otherwise the power supply
would be a lot bigger & heavier, as would the case). That's basically
a recipe for a guitar stomp-box, not a mic pre. If my Sovtek Big Muff
had balanced i/o and a bit less drive, would that make it a mic pre?
(Hmmmm, he thinks....)
