Discuss pro's and cons to a 312 style mic pre that has a switch allowing the operator to switch between 2 different doa's so that you are using one of the two for your mic. Worth it?

pucho812 said:thw switching transformer thing has been done. I as as I saw a mic pre at namm today that had switchable output transformers and switchable doa's. I didn't get into much of the doa part. When I refer to 312 style I mean single doa with in and out transformers. So the DOA switching would go from like a 2520 and 990, pick one to use. I am not convinced it's that much of a wow factor other then to the sluts.
In my opinion the out options should be 4:pucho812 said:Well the same unit also had switchable output transformers like you would find on shadow hills units. If you ask me all that switching is pointless. I figure instead of options just give people something that sounds good.

At that point I'd rather just have two channels of preamp. Seems a waste to have almost an entire second channel worth of components sitting dormant in the box at all times.
