i'll shoot you an m-audio buddy preamp for 25 bucks shipped, i used it for a while and it was great, it needs a new ac adapter which you can order from http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50588&item=5742808821&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW you need to get the 9vac 1000mA aka the 9vac 1 amp from there or from wherever you can find the best deal, get at me bro, i bought it for $90 a couple months ago and i was happy with it until i upgraded to a mixing board
