something fun!!
long story, about a year ago, myself and graeme was designing a valve pre amp for guitar and bass to be used infront of a hifi, then Graeme moved and the project got put on hold, a while i contact Nicholas L to finish the build for me.
its is based around the Fender 5F1 pre amp section, which is one a few components. the transformer i had made at ellof transformers in cape town.
here is a quick sample of how it sounds recorded, signal flow: guitar > ValvePre > Soundcard > Reaper > Amplitube guitar plugin, for both L and R guitars, the bass guitar is just dry out of the Pre into the soundcard.
no mixing was done, and there is some out of time playing.
what i like about it, it gives the DI signal and extra oomf. i am still yet to experiment abit more, but so far so good.
for guitars its Ok, but for Bass it really brings in some character
and then to just give it an authentic look:
