EV re55 into an altec 438 is the business on acoustic guiitar. Especially when it needs to sit in a dense mix.

or look for a rocktron eq6

maybe two ashly sc40 instrument preamp/eqs? they can be found for short money.

Are you using a fresh reel of tape? If not, order a new reel of tape, clean the heads and guides THOROUGHLY, then try again.

save money in the long run and buy a properly refurbished machine. check out www.maramachines.com.

Our electricity has been restored! If you have been displaced due to Hurricane Sandy and require a place to finish projects, our studio is open to you for free. It's a rough and tumble joint, but has MCI jh24, plate reverb, tape echo, vari mu comps, blah blah blah. Just shoot an email to eric@thehun...

One thing to consider is how close to a source you can get with an omni due to the lack of proximity effect. This often allows you to pick up much less of the room sound in relation to the source.

One possible issue might be noise from rain. I can't tell if that is a metal roof. If it is, watch the forecast before scheduling the session. It looks like an awesome place to set up microphones! Have fun.

Is this a tape width issue? The tape you are using might be slightly wider than the tape that was used to wear in the tape path. Try rewinding and fastforwarding 4 times on an unused reel of tape or a tape you don't care about. Clean the tape path. Now use the machine. If it runs clean, it is probab...
