Madness` « Preamp proper »
Published on 05/09/12 at 10:42Transistor preamp and compressor channel strip with (optical) and EQ
Rack-mount model
XLR inputs for mics and inserts at the back and line input jack on the front
UTILIZATION
The knobs fragile plastic, so be careful not to brutalize the beast!
SOUND QUALITY
Sound, this is a great subject ... The preamp gives a little round, do not expect the 'transparent', it tends to give a rock sound but with a good mix, a recorded voice for a ride going very well.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 years, I've experienced during this time an Avalon VT, a Drawmer 1960, a Behringer Ultragain, a Presonus TubePre ...
The pros:
- Full equalizer that allows the sound to work as desired
- How 'Iron' who really gives a more 'gross', making for a bass or guitar in Red Hot, a wonder!
- The link function
The -:
- The preamp is very distinctive and the color may become soulant force ...
- The face buttons to activate the 48v, or the pad or line that spit, consider lowering your monitorings
- The breath of the preamp after 40% gain
- The compressor is very particular, he has spent months before I found the right set, a compressor that deserves to spend time
The value is really OK, I bought it at 670 € and I realize in writing this opinion that the price has risen about 30%, I tell myself that I did well to keep it.
In conclusion, I am really satisfied with this product, since a lasting investment for now, no major concern. For those interested, I have some mp3 recording electric guitars neutral and then passed through the TwinQ!
