12AY7 Mic Pre Discontinued - Class A Tube Microphone Preamp
Total tube performance. The 12AY7 Mic Preamp is all about dynamics with warm tone and true accuracy. Using a 200V power supply, the 12AY7 Mic Pre has a wide dynamic range and up to 50 dB of gain to boost your microphone level up to line level. Balanced XLR I/O allow it to interface into any pro recording setup while a 1/4" TRS balanced buffer out can be a splitter or aux send for monitoring. Also included are switches for phase reverse, 48-volt phantom power and low frequency filtering. To top it off, a +4 dBu LED indicator is included to help you optimize your levels. An FET current balancing circuit eliminates noise and hum allowing the tubes to amplify your microphone in a noise free environment with all the warmth and color tubes can deliver.

Bill Ruppert rises to the challenge in recreating one of the most respected musical instruments of the 20th century, the Modular Moog synthesizer. Using only EHX pedals, Bill reproduces analog filters, specific ADSR enveloping as well as the sweeping modulations that redefined the way people think about tonal creativity.
Please note: Bill will be in the EHX Forums to discuss his sounds, settings, and process. We hope you join us there.
