It gives you vintage detailed mids and an airy presence that seems to add a silky sheen to most sound sources. With this free B7 Bottle Cap, you can add the vintage vibe you love to vocals, saxophones, flutes, and all types of guitar tracks. Plus, you'll receive a coupon good for a second free Bottle Cap!

PowerStream power supply

Most tube mic power supplies apply both heater and plate voltages simultaneously once power has been switched on, attracting electrons from the not yet heated cathode - potentially causing cathode stripping, which can wear out your tube and makes it get noisier. Blue avoids this problem with their PowerStream power supply system that delivers the tube's heater voltage first, and prevents the heater current from exceeding the limits for which the tube was designed.
