PRE-73 : Lush sounding and have never second guessed the result.

A fantastic sounding preamp ranging from pretty transparent to thick with larger than life colour. Not only does it make the source sound great with very little self noise, it will compliment the other preamps in your arsenal by providing a definitive variety in the arena of sounds in your overall mix.

Ive used it on bass, synth bass, electric and acoustic guitar and naturally on vocals and I have never been in any way second guessing the sound, the talent going into the preamp maybe, but never the sound.

When recording electric guitar before this preamp I have always found cutting as far as 200hz out was really damaging the source, but not with this baby, cut away with the high pass and still sounds rich and beefy and ballsy with plenty of room for your other low and low mid sources.

I have not been using the added Air EQ very often but that's not in any way stating they are not useful, I'm in-fact quite sure they will be very useful at some point but that point has not arisen for me yet personally.

If you don't have a 73 style preamp (with Carnhill Transformers) this one is really worth considering.

I am really really happy with this purchase, I love my GAP Pre 73 Premier and for whatever its worth, I would recommend it to everyone.
