tough to say, based on one mule show and one garaj mahal onstage, but not really any warmth at all, mg200>mmp>mme, sounds clean, like a psp-3. It's a stretch to compare it to a v2 or sx, I'd say I favor both over the mmp, and you can for sure get a v2 for less than an if you buy used, and even a new sx would be not much more, sound better, and be smaller. Steve, pm me and I can get you the shows so you can hear for your self. Again, though, it's just two shows, I just know it's not what I'm looking for in a pre. Not bad, just not what I need with dpas.
