I don't know how widespread this deal is, but today I got a new M-Audio Audio Buddy 2 channel mic preamp AND a new Marshall MXL 2001 large diaphram condensor mic for $30.00 at Guitar Center!

I got the last combo at the store near me, but they might have this deal available at other stores.

Now both of these are budget pieces of gear, but I already have an Audio Buddy and it is well worth the price of $90.00-$100.00 that they usually charge. It has a fine clear sound, phantom power and both XLR and instrument inputs. It's also extremely portable.

I haven't tried the mic yet - some people seem to think it's a good deal and some people hate it. You can consider it thrown in for free with the preamp ya' got really cheap, and it you don't like it you might want to consider...

They may have just had too many at the GC by me, so call your local store and ask if you're going to check this out.

BTW, people on the recording forum at HC tend to compare the Audio Buddy preamps with the Mackie XDR preamps. I've never used the Mackie, but there you go.

M-Audio gear has always been excellent for the price. I almost wish I needed a mic pre, as I would buy that Big Grin

I've wanted a Quattro for a long time, price just dropped to $149 at Musician's Friend.
