I have since read the 60D does not have a "real" pre-amp for 3.5mm
microphones, they need to output really high. Are there any cheap
battery powered 3.5mm pre-amps that are in-line that I can use for the
microphone?

All mics these day tend to produce a very similar output level. Are you
sure it isn't a matching thing? Low impedance inputs but high impedance
mics?

OK, I looked up the tech specs for the devices, I did not consider
impedance to be an issue when buying.

60D Mk2 input impedance 10k
Microphone output impedance 200Ohms
Old recorder input impedance 25k
