Black Lion's take on the classic 1073, this half-rack mic preamp gives you 70 dB of warm gain with tons of British character, complete with a front-panel DI.

Love this preamp for Vocals, Instruments, and you can get a nice crushed mono Drum Room sound as well. The saturation is pleasant, or open up the back end and get some great color! Perfect preamp upgrade from your stock interface.... I could instantly tell a difference between this and my Scarlett using my 414 mic.

I'm really liking this on Vocals paired with my AKG 414. DI works awesome as well, can't go wrong here... I know I'll have this preamp even after I eventually get my Neve 73
