Description
A pair of VintageTube dual tube preamps originally from an Akai M-8 Cross-Field reel-to-reel recorder. These units are highly sought after for their rich, warm, classic tube tone and are commonly used as standalone microphone or instrument preamps. Condition • Both tube preamps power on and produce audio — tested. • Excellent candidates for studio use, guitar tracking, reamping, saturation, or a rack-mount mod. • The reel-to-reel transport has NOT been tested, so the value is primarily in the tube preamps. What makes these special These VintageTube preamps are known for: • Classic 1960s tube warmth • Mic / Line inputs • Volume & Tone controls • “Pre-Amp Out” jacks for direct use • Perfect for vocals, guitars, bass, keys, and lo-fi recording • Often used as budget alternatives to boutique tube preamps costing $800–$1500 Producers buy these units specifically for their saturated tube tone, even if the tape section is unused.
