Output cranked sounds really good to me. Better than the first clip in fact, really impressive guitar sound.

I agree. I’m gonna start using it this way on everything. IMO, that's a pretty huge sound for a mono guitar.

Output cranked makes sense, since the output is (I think) a fixed gain stage. So you’re not attenuating the signal anywhere between the input and output.

You've got me interested in the Soyuz SU-13 as well with this clip!

Definitely sounds really impressive with the input cranked. 10 o’clock sounds ok, but it seems cranked really illuminates the character of the preamp. I dig it.

Yes.But also the Soyuz surprised me. I was looking at getting a pair of 84's but for a third of the price these seriously opened my eyes.

I’ll bite What do they bring to the table ? To me they sound prettier more linear to the 84’s Comparatively a bit more smiley face but natural not in a weird forced eq kinda way. More useful for me.like I would likely eq the 84’s more @ mix. Yeah they sound great. Also I have a gorgeous pair of km56’s already. |

Yeah - they seem to be a tad more scooped maybe.

Sounds great! Can you tell me about the verb setup you’re using? I like how it adds some width without sounding too wet. |

A little goes a long way. Indeed! I never think to use verb on acoustic, but now I’m gong to need to experiment. For now Exponential is off the table as I’m running an older PT HD rig. |

Thanks to our Dear Leader Johnkenn, I had a chance to compare the new VP28 Pt-A to a regular VP28 (Litz/RedDot) and a Heider FD312. I played acoustic guitar into a 414eb and spoke into a Beta58 for my comparisons. To my ears, the new VP28 Pt-A is much more in Heider-land than the original VP28. It’s a bigger sound with a more meaty bottom, most likely due to the upgraded transformers. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing depending on what sound you’re after. I’m a sucker for bigger and fatter sounds so I really liked it! The added meter, DI and impedance switching capabilities are an added plus over the originals but at additional cost compared to DIY as well. I see a few of these new VP28 Platinums in my future! |
