I'm looking for six 500 series preamps and a pair of eqs for drums/
Guitar /bass tracking . I was looking to do the diy capi route .
I'm curious if people are still feeling the love .
I wish I could wait for the JLM audio tube preamp kits
But that looks to be a ways away
Any thoughts would be great
Thanks

Yes, they are fantastic. Definitely get at least a pair of the vp28's as you can use them in line mode for a little mojo on your mix.

I use them every session. I have 8x 312 kits. Might look to get some Heiders next time I get a big session.

Still a must if you want that classic American console sound.

One of the all time DIY 500 preamps, still recommended by me.

Four VP28's and two VP312's here and they get used on drums and electric guitars on every session.

I have several vp28's and 26's and recently shot them out next to a vintech, Amek, and germanium. Vp's and the vintech finished on top.

Of coarse. As good as it gets for "that" sound.

Love to try a Heider one day, but for my money is VP28 is a must have. I need to build some more. I've used them on electric guitars but after trying a bunch of stuff I need them on snare drums...the ability to pull back to fader to control the transients a big is a nice "tape like" feature

I could sell everything else....
GR-MP-2NV's Heritage 1073, Avalon 2022, Grace .... (all amazing)
But the vp28 are the Desert Island Preamp for me.

I don't see a lot of talk about the vp25 ?
Dose it lack character because of the
larger output transformer (smoother low end /less aggressive ) ?
I thought about getting 2 vp28s and a few no iron cards to expieriment
With .

I use the 25's for toms and the 312's for OH. I will probably pick up another pair of 312's or 25's for rooms. Vp28's on AC gtr, vp26's on elc gtr. |
