Warm Audio Tone Beast TB12 Mic Preamp Black
The Warm Audio Tone Beast TB12 is a single-channel, console-grade mic preamp in the style of classic American 12-series preamps, with switches that change its character. It goes from punchy, clear sound to the saturated tones of famous vintage modifications, adding harmonics and tone shaping to any microphone or instrument.
Two CineMag USA output transformers can be selected, steel for a more rolled-off sound with tighter mids or 50% nickel for a flatter response, or the output transformer can be bypassed. The discrete op-amp can be switched between 1731 (vintage) and 918 (cleaner, modern) styles and the capacitors between tantalum and electrolytic. The output attenuation lets both op-amps and transformers be driven into saturation.
