Look into a Grace 101 pre. It's a nice high/middle of the road item. Lots of gain, phantom, very clean and natural sounding. You can also dirty it up a bit if you want. It's a good solid all around pre that works with anything. Better then the Avalon M5 at less then half the cost.
The 101 is no longer made so it can be gotten for a song. If you can't get one, the Grace replacement is better then the 101. You may want to try that one.
I know a few raps and hops who use a 101 and hang a bottle from it. Make them happy!
I'll talk gear anytime!
