True Systems P-Solo Microphone Pre Shoot Out Part II
A few days ago I did the first shootout between the P-Solo pre and the built-in pre on the Digidesign 002.
It was a test with my speaking voice. The differences were certainly there, but I wanted to find something else that showed how different it really is, something that comes across even with MP3 compression.
What I found was the in-studio Stratocaster.
I just got to thinking, how would the P-Solo perform in its role as a direct box? The answer is, very well! Not only that, the difference between it and the Digidesign 002 pre was nothing short of astounding.
So here you go — two short audio clips, one with the guitar plugged straight into the P-Solo and one with the guitar plugged straight into the Digidesign 002.
Now, I’m no guitar player and I’m about to prove it. 
Guitar Direct - 002
Guitar Direct - P-Solo
I believe you’ll find the difference between the two more than obvious.
In the coming weeks I hope to do more tests with acoustic guitar, other vocals and perhaps even some percussion.

Wow…I can hear THAT! Awesome stuff! And I’ve heard worse guitar playing. You should hear my keyboard playing…thank god for quantizing.
Yeah, when I first heard the difference I thought I had something plugged in wrong for it to sound so bad.
thanks!
