when i compare the Red 7 mic preamp(others are bypassed) with mackie vlzpro

it is not more bright than mackie vlzpro mic preamp

my Red7 is broken?

I can't imagine anything much brighter than the Mackie...

It doesn't necessarily follow that the Red 7 sounds just like the Red 1.
Did you audition the Red 7 before buying? Are you using the same mic
with both preamps?

Hey, already it sounds better to me. g Mackie pres can be pretty
bright, to the point of brittle if one isn't careful setting gain.

Perhaps not, but how many variables have you here?

Is the compressor circuit engaged on the Red7? This can change the timbre of
the preamp quite a bit, depending on the setting...........alos, the Red7
has an exciter circuit to bblend in more top end if heavy compression is
needed.

Last time I checked the red 2 and red 7 don't sound alike.

I see. Thank you. Let me enter that variable in the "what's up with
this" equation over here and see what's derived...

Okay, we've got it. The answer is "Whoops".
