    I have been advised that using a tube mic preamp is vital to a good recording. Any truth to that?

    Guitars: Lots.
    Amphs: More than last year.
    Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.

    IMO, not much. I do use a dbx 378 tube preamp for most anything I record but an el cheapo tube pre will only make it worse, not better. Most really really good pres are not tube.

    BUT a good tube pre can give it nice warmth and presence.
