Studio Projects VTB-1 $100

[MuseVox]

I LOVE this preamp...I used it for voice overs when I first started to get serious about the biz - the only reason why I'm selling it is because I needed a new sound card, and got one with a preamp. Handled with kid gloves - in perfect working condition. $100 firm. I accept PayPal and can ship it from Chicago with the buyer paying the shipping. Comes with A/C power supply. Call me at 773-677-5306 to buy it! Here is the "official" spiel:

Studio Projects VTB-1 is the ultimate in low cost mic preamplifier technology. Incorporating true class A/B switching, the VTB-1 is a totally discrete circuit. Unique to the VTB-1 is the Tube Drive circuit based on a a 12AX7 tube that allows the user to blend as little or as much of the Tube Drive as desired. The VTB-1 allows the user the most flexibility of any mic pre in its price class.

The VTB-1 allows you to go from a pristine solid state sound to any combination of Tube Drive you choose - even hard distortion for guitars and bass! The VTB-1 is must-have device as the perfect mic preamplifier for any microphone!

Don't hate me now.... but if it were me, I'd rather buy a new one for $120...

That said, anyone looking for an alternative to a built-in console or interface preamp - BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The VTB-1 is my standard recommendation as a budget pre. It's a killer pre at a STEAL.
