Does anybody know which is better: the OP-50 Preamps or the OP-Pro Preamp? Also the Crossweave Carbon Fiber top or the Unidirectional Carbon Fiber - SMT top is better? I'm considering to get either the Adamas 12 strings W598 or the 1598-MEII. Please help! Thanks!

Hey Rock,

The OP-50 has all the bells and whistles, but the OP-Pro is the is the flagship and probably the better sounding pre-amp.

You need to play these guitars yourself. They all have their own voices. I think the SMT is a bit smoother, and softer. The CVT are clean and loud with more harmonic overtones. The MEII has only bass side holes and epaulets. It has bigger "middle tones". None of them are lacking, they are just different. While you're at it you should try to get your hands on a 1688 or 1685 Adamas I or II 12 string. Some will say these are the best sounding 12 strings, hands down, period, end of discusion. None of them suck.

I had a 6759 with the OP50 and have an LX with the OP Pro.

While I enjoy the features of the OP Pro the OP 50 has the notch filter for feedback reduction. To me the sound from either was excellent.
