Looking for some info on desks ^^^^

Ive had little shits in the past (samson 1502, Mackie1202 etc) but went with a rush of blood a few years back and have been routing directly into soundcard, mixing internally and digitally bouncing (001, now 002r and PT)

Ive had a craving for something like in the title for a while, and as the kit has grown again ive gradually run out of inputs from using the 8 ins of the 002 to hooking back up the mackie 1202 to get more in alongside.

I really just want to take the plunge into a sexy big ol analogue desk and get some nice sound/eq

Not fussed about automation and all the digital revolution stuff, simplicity has always been my best friend - Ive seen some Mackie 32/8's with M/b's for sale for about 800-1200 squids, also Soundcrafts and soundtracs for a bit cheaper etc...

Whats the best in its class at this level? whos used/got/owned etc?

Any help?

I emailed the soundtrac guy a couple days ago, not heard back from him. The used prices of the older stuff seems to vary so much from seller to seller. I got something else lined up instead tho so its all good

"I love my Mackie 32:8:8. I can use it as a giant distortion box. Its warm.........."

how do you make it distort? (not only by maximizing a channel-fader i think)
is the way to do it by actually raising the preamp gain to maximum level? (and then having the channel-fader at a suitable, lower, level (really low?!) to get a solid output volume on the channel and good balance in the mix)
if thats so, dont you get a lot of awful background noises from the preamp then?
