Default Re: C24 preamp routing help?!?

I don’t think the pres have been used by the previous owner if at all. When I turn the pre knob they are noisy and the linear increase of the gain is not even at all. Anyone help please

Hmmm, make sure you are feeding the Mic inputs and not the Line inputs. My friend's C24 preamps seem to be on the hot side(he had to insert in-line XLR pads on all his drum mics). Personally, given how "bland and boring" the stock preamps are(just my opinion), I'd consider some outboard preamps
