And the latest Scarlett preamps got a pretty good db boost, so I think I'm good. 27more db might make my recordings a nightmare. Seems to be working well for you. Maybe I should try one, after all.

I tried pushing the gain up through Logic Pro, but it just sounded really noisy. The FetHead seems to be doing the trick with the Sennheiser 441. The FetHead can boost "up to" 27db. I'm not really pushing it that hard. Maybe 3-5 db max. But it's quieter than trying to do it through the Scarlett or Logic (not sure why, but it works so I don't wonder too much).
