This mic/preamp rig is a great value for its low price, but its designed with little headroom because of its low voltage (3v) power supply. I've learned, through recording experiments, that it severely compresses/limits the signal when the volume knob is on full and I'm strumming aggressively. One work-around for this is to not take the little preamp's volume knob past halfway and to boost the level (if needed) somewhere else in the signal chain.
