Check out the Lauren Audio Panther Preamp: https://www.lauren.audio/

The Lauren Audio Panther is the latest addition to the home studio and one of the biggest upgrades I've made in a long time, I did my best to match levels and show the difference in tone and depth that the Panther preamp creates against the hi-Z inputs from my Apollo x8 and I think the difference is pretty massive. Better top end, more detailed mids and just a presence that feels energetic and pretty.

I've been loving the shift and the results inspire me to work harder to find great source material.

Do you use outboard gear? What's your favorite preamp for guitar?
