Hi all,
I'm on a late 80's, early 90's, preamp quest. I wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with the ART SGX 2000 or 2000 Express? What's it like? Got any good tones coming out of it?

I've read some Harmony Central reviews on it and everyone seems to like it. Some have said that it's still some of the best gear to be had even today. Does anyone have an opinion on that?

I've recently acquired a MP-1, possibly going after a second one to modify, a Digitech 2101, and maybe this SGX. You're probably thinking why? Why get that when there are so many other great preamps out today that blow this thing out of the water. Well, it's not just about getting something better. Nostalgia has alittle bit to do with it, and you can also get really good deals on this old gear. Alot of it still sounds pretty good. Take the MP-1 and 2101 for instance.

So anyways, what's everyone think about the SGX 2000 or 2000 Express?

Thanks in advance!
