Check out my new toys!

[Glenn Fricker]

Just picked these up the other day. I spent a week in the states & took advantage of the tax break.

These sound simply amazing on heavy rhythms & lead guitars. Quite shocking, actually. I bought these for drums, mainly. So far I've only had my crappy ass drumming to work with, but I've got a new project coming in on Saturday so I'll be able to put them through thier paces.

Even with me playing, I noticed a serious improvement on overheads, as opposed to the Ward Becks I've been running for the last few years.

I'll get some clips up as soon as I can.

Those preamps looked so good, and you bought 4, what an asshole (JK lol).

 

[KeithRT99]

very nice.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Post clips ASAP.

 

[ReliXKeepeR]

What's the price of one of these?

And why don't you compare them in test with your old preamps?

 

[greyskull]

[~BURNY~]

Shame on you mister "oh I got some new little toys uh uh uh"

 

[LSD-Studio]

They tend to be around $750-800 depending. Ozz how much ya spend

 

[Glenn Fricker]

I got them at Vintage King for $676 each. If you buy four, you get a free lunchbox for them, which is about $400 otherwise. What a great deal.

You can check it out here:

BTW, I did do a back to back preamp test with myself on the drums... and yeah, I'm the only one that's gonna hear that as I'm fucking horrendous behind the kit.

[broken81]

yea i was just about to ask if you got a lunchbox for those bad boys... I want api so bad with the 8 space rack box so i can have pre's and add some comps and eq if I wanted along the way.

You should try them on vocals also and post clip

 

[musickey]

lucky prick:Smug: lol

 

[Radd]

Congrats Oz!
You can add me to that jealous list.
I'm dying to here comparisons of guitars with it, the Vintech 72 and the Great River.

We need a praying smilie.

 

[kaomao]

without the launchbox those are pretty useless, right?
I wish I had money for those API

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Yeah, the lunchbox is the Power Supply & I/O. The cool thing is, there's a bunch of companies that make things to fit the form factor. I'm thinking on maybe loading up the last two slots with either 2 more 512c's or perhaps a pair of those Shadow Hills preamps.

[broken81]

yea dude there is all kinds of company's that make not only preamps but compressors and eq's to fit the lunchbox... Thats why i want the big rack one that has like 8-10 slots. So you can always get more

I read a review in tape op that was giving high regard to one of the osa preamps i think it was called the big dog or something. Ive never heard of that shadows hills preamp. Going to have to check into those!!
