Harness the Legendary Golden Age Microphone Amp

Packing the company’s potent Golden Age Microphone Amp into a single-channel 500 Series module, the Shadow Hills Industries Mono GAMA Hammer Forged boasts all the capabilities, features, and sound of its predecessor, along with a few exciting new tricks. The Mono GAMA Hammer Forged features a transformer-balanced input, providing you with exceptional clarity, lightning-quick transient response, and remarkable transparency. That said, if your track requires coloration, this module’s Output Transformer Matrix enables you to toggle between Nickel, Steel, Discrete, and the Hammer Forged-exclusive Stack option. Beyond that, the full-featured Mono GAMA Hammer Forged includes Phantom, Polarity, and Attenuate switches. You also get a mastering-grade, gold-plated Microphone Gain attenuator and a polarity-reversible, pad-equipped DI input. Complete with a hammer-forged front panel, the Mono GAMA Hammer Forged is a no-compromise mic pre imparting fidelity, punchiness, and dimensionality across the entire frequency range.

From pristine transparency to rich coloration

Sometimes you need coloration; sometimes you don’t. That’s why we love the Mono GAMA Hammer Forged here at Sweetwater. Thanks to its Output Transformer Matrix, you can audition a gamut of sonic colors, all without patching and unpatching multiple preamps. The Output Transformer Matrix allows you to change the module’s output transformer with a mere twist of a knob, with options for Nickel, Steel, and a transformerless Discrete option for maximum transparency. Beyond that, this Hammer Forged version includes a fourth Stack option that sums both transformers together, replicating what many Mono GAMA users have been doing for ages: running a signal through two units.
