Re: Red Eye vs. Grace Design Felix or Alix
I hear you - always fun to purchase great gear ! That's why I own various preamps, beside checking the best solution when switching between several instruments on stage (guitar, mandolin, dobro, bouzouki, banjo).
I own the Grace Felix, Redeye Twin, Tonedexter, SunnAudio. Like them all.
Yes, the ToneDexter is an awesome tool, making my K&K equipped Collings MF5 sound like a miked mandolin. But for some reason I never could bond with that IR-thing.
If you need decent EQ, Felix and Alix are great. I especially like the high pass filter which I use on my soundboard transducer equipped guitars. No need to purchase the Felix if you don't use two channels. And I would take a close look at the SunnAudio Prestine preamp/D.I. (single channel) and SunnAudio MS-2 (dual channel / blender).
Great sound quality, less expensive compared with the Grace products, awesome customer service.
