Default Recovering from GAS
I think I've finally sated my recent bout of gas with a few new mics and T3's B4D plus a couple of used preamps. I took a punt on a Roland MMP-2 on eBay for just over £60 hoping I'll get some interesting character colourations from it.

However, I'm most pleased with snagging a mint condition TL Audio 5052 off eBay for well under £700. I've been craving a valve preamp sound and also wanted to get some sort of reasonable quality hardware compressor and spotted this beauty which satisfies both requirements in one unit... right, time to start wiring in some new patch points in my rack!!

Excellent. Another happy purchase.
What's your main preamp up to now, again?

Must admit... I did look rather closely at the FatTrack, but I don't really have any spare desktop space and I already have a DIY project underway for a new monitor controller so didn't really need that feature either.
