The 1073 Sound in Your 500 Series Rack
The studio incarnation of JHS's renowned Colour Box pedal (a Sweetwater favorite), the Colour Box 500 gives you a high-end microphone preamp and equalizer in a 500 Series module based on the classic 1073 gain stage. In this clever - and effective - design, JHS cascades two discrete, 24-volt 1073 gain blocks for massive headroom - and considerable coloration potential. For powerful tone sculpting, you get JHS's powerful 7-knob EQ. The inputs and outputs use genuine Carnhill transformers that add the girth, dimensionality, and harmonic complexity you expect of a coveted vintage British console. Feed it your condenser, dynamic, and ribbon mics, your 1/4" and line-level sources; the JHS Colour Box 500 makes everything sound great.
