I've been considering investing in one of these to put before my digital multitrack recorder to improve the sound quality a bit:

what do you guys think? the mics I'm currently using are an SM57 and SM58 (and maybe soon a Studio Projects B1 Condenser), is it a worthy purchase to improve the sound? the price seems pretty good...

No. I think I had a rant about these somewhere around here already.

The preamp will likely be no different than what you have at the moment. Save your pennies.

Dont waste your money on anything Berringer!!!! A good condsnser mike is a good investment but be careful, get a mic that will handle high volumes. stay away from cheap condensers you will hate the sound. Shure KSM 44 or Neumann TLM 103 or TLM 193 is a pretty safe bet, higher priced AKG condensers C414 B-ULS are good too.

Good luck
