It's odd that the sales reps would say they're inappropriate for sound reinforcement because they distort the sound. Guitar Center, et al, are perfectly happy to sell tube mic preamps for recording purposes, and in an SR application, who in the audience is paying attention anyway? :)BTW, the next time you're in a Guitar Center, or other similar store, think about who's working there. Umm, 22 and no professional audio education comes to mind. So, consider the source.
Having lambasted the sales people, let's move on to equipment. Maybe, paraphrasing Bob Lee, you have a crap signal to begin with. What mics are you using? Maybe they just don't have any high end. Even the sort-of-decent Shure SM-58 will "lose it" after being banged around and spit into for a while.
And then of course, you have to look at the console. Are all the HF Cut filters turned down? hahahhaa. Or is it just full of crap electronics?
