Any ideas on tone of pre, is it a clone or new design ?

Channel 1? If this is a stereo tube pre I will also be in trouble...

Chris mentioned on IG that two was better than one . So my guess is two channel.
Also a while back they said something about a new tube and transformer pre . It was stated that they sorta stumbled on the design while working on something else. If this is it , it’s not a clone but new design.

 Not a great photo but you can see it's a stereo pre in this picture from NAMM! I do feel kinda bad for the AudioScape guys though, as great as this certainly is going to be they are going to have to compete with the new toob API preamp and the AS one doesn't even have tube windows! LOL!  |

Interesting that there is a “Voice” switch and one setting is “Full” … curious

Well . . . it sounds GOLDEN.Details are forthcoming. The thing that really separates the audioscape gear from originals and similar gear is the noise difference. All of the tone, none of the noise. Their Bluestripe Rev AB recreation is the best example I can think of. It's freaky. Anyhow, it's coming . . . so just wait. Or maybe I can get a list started. (P.S. don't forget to get your name on the A78 <1178 REPRODUCTION> list!!)

I LOVE things with little or no noise. How some plug-ins neglect to offer a no noise option escapes me. It's very useful to be able to dial in as little or as much as you like. I usually turn noise off on my UAD ATR-102, but occasionally dial a little bit in.

I'd be down for some Pye-style compression. Has that been mentioned earlier??
If it's a possibility, I'd prefer that in dual mono with a link for stereo.
Maybe I just got all excited over nothing, though. 😀

Hahahaha thanks y'all! Lots of folks are onto the right path as far as info goes! ALL Details and info will be revealed when the time is right!
But we CAN confirm it is an all-tube, 2-channel tube preamp that sounds absolutely STUNNING. Not a "recreation" of any one thing per se'...!! ;-)
And phew!! As AWESOME as a PYE would be - they're just SUCHHHH incredibly quirky, notoriously difficult circuits to keep functioning properly. It could be done, but development to make it reliable, as well as assembly and matching of parts, would be crazy....at least at the MOMENT!! But, this is why you don't see anyone else (but one we believe, who is special order only?) making a recreation of this compressor; which IS awesome! The AC SOUND PI was GREAT but due to the complexity of design and assembly, that product, from what we know, was SOLELY responsible for the beginning of the downfall of that "business"... YIKES!
It's certainly on the "LONG LIST" so don't give up complete hope!!! Hahahaha

So... it's a compressor?!?... but with a mic/line switch, phantom power, polarity, gain controls AND Chris is using the hashtags #preamp and #TubePreamp... man, these AudioScape guys are on another level --- like they are playing 3D Candyland while the rest of us are stuck playing Tic-Tac-Toe and we're all out of O's  |
