Hey Dana glad you liked it!
The owner of the 6176 has surprisingly not followed up on his request to get it back, so in the meantime I’ll be enjoying this beautiful piece of gear
This thread really helped me understand how to color and compress my recordings. It got me thinking about how saturation affects different instruments — some might actually sound nicer without that extra color, keeping them more neutral. With acoustic guitars I find myself not wanting to oversaturate them.
I’m curious to hear what other Protégé folks prefer when it comes to instruments and saturation. Maybe I’m overgeneralizing, and it’s just the particular type of color that the 6176 gives that doesn’t fit every instrument — but it definitely got me thinking that some things just want to be recorded neutrally or maybe naturally.
