Re: inexpensive small true mic preamps

Thanks guys for all the valuable advice.

I just went and checked out the recommended
Studio Projects VTB-1 and I think I"m in heaven:

Not only does it have balanced XLR and line cable ins and outs
but it also has a tip/ring sleeve insert................I won't need a 
mixer!!!!

I've been seriously debating whether to use an entire laptop situation in
my touring next year but I have also really wanted to take and show off
my Looperlative.

With this setup and on a very, very modest budget (that's good for me)
I can have a very sophisticated looping setup with a Looperlative,
a VTB-1 and a BOSS VF-1 effects processor and only take
a two space rack with me.....................WOOOOHOOOOOO.

I'll also take some footpedals as well because I just love them, but this
is going to be so much lighter and less hassle.   Then I can take my
soon to be purchased laptop to use for interactive visuals.

Thanks for your advice.    This community rocks!
