Classic Germanium Design! Germanium transistors have been used in audio gear including Neve, EMI, Telefunken, and Fairchild for their unique sonic characteristics. It hasn't been used in current gear for a while now, but that all changes with the Germanium Preamp/DI. What make this preamp unique are the gain circuits. The Gain/Germanium Drive control and Feedback control are intricately linked. Gain acts as a standard gain control, but roll up the amount of Feedback and the Germanium Pre realizes its full potential, as well as adding a small bass boost and a tasty high-frequency roll-off. For cleaner tones keep the Feedback on the restrained side, or crank it up for fat guitars and vocals. There aren't any other preamps like this one! The Germanium Pre Amp/DI is a completely new design by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke that uses classic germanium transistors in all Class A, transformer balanced, circuits. The use of germanium devices opens a whole new sound palate not found in any pro audio equipment currently manufactured. These incredibly smooth sounding transistors were the basis of the earliest transistor designs by Neve (1053, 1055, 1057), EMI ( TG12345 MKI), Telefunken, and Fairchild. Those familiar with these units can attest to the special sound of the germanium tranasistor. The Germanium series runs on +40 volt power, high current, and has a huge +34 output before clipping. The sound is warm and smooth as with many vintage style circuits, but you'll find a whole new world of smooth here as well as a sound that settles in perfectly to your tracks without fighting. Note: Power Supply sold separately. Chandler Limited Germanium Pre Amp/DI Features: I/O: XLR DI - Unbalanced jack with 100k input impedance Germanium Drive controls the input gain of the Germanium amp Pad and Thick Switches Feedback Control to adjust the amount of signal fed from the amplifier output back to the input 10-segment LED VU meter Chandler Limited Germanium Pre Amp/DI - Modern preamp with vintage sound! Sweetwater Expert Advice     "This sexy blue box is now my go-to preamp for recording guitars. A pair of Germanium Preamps with a Beyerdynamic M160 and an AEA R92 is all you need for articulate, detailed and to-die-for lead guitar tracks. With the feedback control you can change the preamp's flavor from digital clean to warm organic vintage vibe! With the Pad and Thick buttons you can alter the tone further, and you can really drive the germanium transistor for a huge over-the-top, larger than life, warm and round analog experience that will leave you pinching yourself for days. If you dream In analog but are stuck in a digital world, or you just want the warmest, most vintage sounding preamp available today order a Chandler Limited Germanium Preamp today... better yet, order two."
