Telefunken 12ax7, honestly they sound great with that pre. Speaking of chinese garbage, I bought a brand new unit, and within a month, the VU backlights stopped turning on … Then I realized you need to let the unit ‘warm up’ 20 minutes, or give it a good bang, and the VU meters will pop on.

• Very cool preamp and very much worth it’s weight in tubes and circuitry.
• My output would vary not only in level, but tone as well until I switched.
• Maximum detail and highend at the highest corrresponding impedance .
• A lot of audio interfaces that accept line level sources need their volume knob up about 30% of the way to be at unity gain.

In addition to versatility, it possesses a very airy, with nice depth and a great presence. It may be clear, as if no (GAIN half, and OUTPUT 3 / 4, with High Voltage Plate), but by providing a full and rich.

Fenders, and a bunch more in the closet. Been collecting them for years and they all sound different. I’ve tried maybe ten other tubes, some new and some old, but these three are the only ones I use in the MPA’s anymore. If I may, Chris I think used that combo professionally for some time before he was able to afford a dramatic upgrade.

Art Pro Mpa Ii Microphone Preamplifier

This may be a little of topic, but have been having trouble finding the best answer. I have a 7 piece drum kit which means atleast 9 mics.
