I love this preamp so much that I’m thinking of getting a second one. It’s my go to for vocals!

My favorite preamp ever. Foolproof operation and great features! Variable impedance, a mute switch, various pad settings, metering that covers all the bases.
Oh yeah it sounds incredible! Pre, Eq and Limiter.
The price makes it a steal

I bought this and had the chance to use it along side of the 6176 as well as LA 610. It really has a sound all its own. At one point we put directly on an electric guitar running direct with no amp. After roughly 20 seconds of playing, the musician looked at me and said, i have been looking for this sound for 30 years. This it what makes it so enjoyable to use this gear live in the studio. I would recommend this gear to all of you out there.
A crucial link in the audio chain is the microphone preamplifier, aka the mic preamp or mic pre. The output level of a microphone is very low and requires amplification to bring it up to line level. That’s what a mic pre does. But a mic preamp can’t drive a pair of speakers; that’s the job of the main amplifier. A key part of the job for a mic pre is to keep input noise to a minimum and to amplify without distortion.
Being the first amplification stage of the microphone signal, the mic preamp is essential to getting a good sound. Choose a poor one and you’ll be working harder to overcome its limitations. Choose a good one and processing your sound will get a lot easier. But what are the differences between average preamps and better ones? Let’s look at some of them. Continue reading →
To know Zach Fisher and Jack Ruley is to know two best friends living out their best lives. Shooting guns for sport out in Joshua Tree? Check. Playing stoner rock opuses in a band called Jurassic Witch? Oh yeah! Building one of the most awe-inspiring new recording studios in Los Angeles? Not only did they do it, but they did it with impeccable aesthetic and gear selection.
Big Bad Sound originally started out in Zach's house in Silver Lake, but the size of the artists he was working with quickly outgrew his homestead. Jack quit his job to help Zach grow the studio, and the two ultimately settled on moving to a former movie prop house they found while looking for spaces. Continue reading →
Germantown, Tennessee native Julien Baker grew up worshiping at the altar of bands like My Chemical Romance and Underoath. While Julien's brand of indie rock is more sparse than these iconic emo gods, her lyrics follow a similar intimate, confessional-style approach.
For Julien’s latest record Little Oblivions, the singer/songwriter once again enlisted the help of her longtime collaborator and engineer, Calvin Lauber. We sat down with Calvin to talk about Julien’s newest work, the process behind making the record and some of the production choices made along the journey. Continue reading →

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
