Thomann FetAmp 5-stars Reviews

Does what it's supposed to do!

Working great and does what it's supposed to do - working well with T bone Ribbon mic

Good product!

Is doing its job.

Nifty little thing that is handy to have in your toolkit. The design is a bit less fancy compared to the TritonAudio version, but it's very sturdy nonetheless. Simply does what it's supposed to do without any frills.

Excellent silent pre-amp

Whenever I buy a Ribbon mic, I always get one of these with it because it makes a world of difference in the sound level and therefor the noise floor. You can also use them with dynamic mics to really boost the level. This one is very transparent and won't color the sound.

So simple and yet so effective

I bought this little guy to pair alongside a Rode Podmic. I have tested the mic both with and without the FetAmp. This tiny piece works wonders and really amplifies the sound of the Podmic allowing me to use the Mic with my Mixer with little to no gain at all. Does exactly what it says it does.

Good but pricey.

Using this with a shure sm7b and it does increase the gain without adding the noise you would get from a preamp.

It is cheaper than other items that have the same function but I still feel like it's a little expensive.

Cheap Fet preamp on ribbon mic

I mainly bought this to have the 20 db boost on my RM700 ribbon mic and to avoid passing the 48v if mistakenly left/turned on the channel.

It does the job without adding too much noise and colouring the signal!

Does what it's supposed to

Jep raises the volume of the ribbon or dynamic mic very nicely.

A must for SM7-B owners - Just works

A simple little device that boosts the notoriously low output of the SM7-B very transparently, and doesn't need expensive preamps to boost it. The quality is a little flimsy (any of the others of tried are flimsy too), but if you're careful with it, it's a great buy

Good amp

It totally does what it is made for. I use it with my Shure SM 7 B and this little preamplifier makes it louder with fantastic quality and I love it. Thanks.

Very solid product

I bought this alongside a Shure SM7B, effortless plug-and-play, the sound quality is not affected to any noticable extent.

Definitely a solid deal, it being offered as a bundle with the microphone made chosing very straight forward - Which personally is a plus, because I didn't want to spend ages also finding an amplifier.

Simple and elegant solution to adding gain

These FetAmps were bundled with the new SM7B microphones we purchased for a studio rebuild. They do exactly what they say on the tin and give the 7B a much needed boost. For some reason though when used with our Alice Series A desk we get a very low level buzz induced to the signal chain and this affects all three FetAmps and channels in any combination. If I try them all on another mixer (D&R Airmate) the buzz disappears altogether and the gain improvement is crystal clear so I can only attribute the issue to the Alice desk itself. Luckily the Alice has a good 60dB of adjustable gain and these channel are superbly quiet so we weren't in trouble. I still need to experiment further with another Alice Series A in the second studio and probably just need to add some decoupling to the channel strip to soft this buzzing issue. After all they are classic mixers and need a bit of TLC from time to time!

Very nicely built

Received this as part of the Shure SM 7 B bundle. It comes in a nice little padded box and the overall quality is really nice - all metal construction and sturdy.

Great Product!

It does the same as all the others, but for a better price :) The sound quality and handling are awesome. Features are simple and easy to understand and use. On the downside, I do find the build quality to be a bit flimsy (does not affect the experience much).

9,5/10

Does what it's supposed to

It seemed to fulfill the role perfectly and a much easier/cheaper solution for high power demanding microphones. I tend not to need it at all once I got my goxlr. But when i did put this inline the shure sm7b was significantly easier to power without affecting the sound too much.

Literally a cheaper version of the Triton.

As stated in the title, this is basically the exact same piece of kit as the Triton FetAmp. i combine it with both Rode Procasters and Rode Podmics, and the result is a clear, loud, output. No need to place your noisy preamps too high.

I use it for my podcast, and find it has helped me achieve a clear sound, with very little need for post-processing beyond the basics.

The hardware is sturdy and well built, likely to stay together even with a lot of use.

Does the job perfectly, needs more recognition

Little disclaimer: I would have gone for the Klark Teknik CT1 if it were in stock but I needed an preamp asap.

This preamp does a good job and needs more recognition imo.

There is not much to say, go for it if you want to save money and avoid overpriced stuff. I used this with the Rode Podmic (I have 2 of each) and it let me put my gain way lower, reducing ambient noise. On the two FetAmps I have bought, one is a little bit loose when plugging it into the mic, that's why I gave it 4 stars. Other than that, I didn't have any problem. I would recommend this item.

Alternative to CL1

A cheap alternative to Cloudlifters etc. This brought my SM7B to life.

Great piece of kit!

Robust - and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Every bit as good as the more expensive examples.

Nice compliment to my SM7B

I use this with an SM7B running into a Behringer Xenyx QX2442 and then through Reaper for processing. It helps me get a really nice hot sound but without any hint of "strain". I recommend it highly unless you have some really good preamps. I'm a fan. Only complaint would be that the XLR connections are a tiny bit loose.
