Shadow Hills Mono GAMA Hammer Forged Preamps

Remember back in 2023 when Shadow Hills Industries and Vintage King teamed up to release the limited edition Shadow Hills Industries Mono GAMA Copper 500 Series microphone preamp?

Well, we’re joining forces once again for the new Shadow Hills Industries Mono GAMA Hammer Forged preamps. Available exclusively at Vintage King, the new Hammer Forged preamps come in Copper or Noir finishes and combine the Stack setting found on the Mono GAMA Copper preamp with a unique art deco-inspired faceplate.

If you’re a fan of the original Mono GAMA, don’t worry—these new modules feature the same Jensen input transformer and discrete op-amp that made Shadow Hills preamps an industry standard.

In addition to the Nickel (Low distortion), Discrete (Transformerless), and Steel (Colored with 1dB boost) transformer settings, the Mono GAMA Hammer Forged preamps also include a fourth Stack setting, which combines the Nickel and Steel transformers together for a unique tone you can’t get anywhere else.

Available in classic Copper or sleek Noir finishes, the Shadow Hills Mono GAMA Hammer Forged preamps feature a custom-engraved art deco-inspired faceplate that looks as inspiring as the preamp sounds.

Check back soon for a full audio demo of the new Shadow Hills Industries Mono GAMA Hammer Forged preamps. In the meantime, watch our First Listen video of the Mono GAMA Copper below for sound examples of all four transformer output settings.
