Up for sale is 2 FULLY RESTORED and MODIFIED Ampex 601 tube mic preamps. Beautiful sounding/looking mid 50?s EF86 tube mic preamp/DI with tons of TONE and CLASS! This unit has been COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH and is PLUG PLAY ready!
If you?ve ever wanted one of these for your studio, this is the one! Completely recapped and all superfluous electronics were pulled properly. In addition some modifications were made for studio use:
Front Panel ?Phones? jack is now a proper Direct Input feeding straight into the first tube stage grid. These are INCREDIBLE DI?s when converted properly(as this one has been).
Front Panel ?Power? switch has been converted into a Meter Defeat switch, which is VERY handy on these units. The power switch has been relocated to the back panel which also helps lower noise in the unit.
Front panel ?Input/Tape? rotary switch now switches between Mic, Mic Pad, and Line levels. This allows you to easily use this guy on a wide variety of input sources.
Front panel ?Line Rec Level? is now a 2 position Rotary switch that switches between transformer, and transformerless output. Fantastic option that really opens up the sonic potential of these preamps.
The EF86 versions of these units have a fantastic sound when restored properly, and really rival anything out there. Beautiful top and wonderful rich mid-range. The VU bulbs are brand new, and the audio tubes are Vintage Mullards.
This unit sounds fantastic, and is absolutely plug and play ready. All the work put into this guarantees years of studio life ahead. Get it!
I have 2 of these units in identical shape.
