A great all around preamp. Clean, but warm, round, suitable for absolutely anything. Synths, vocals, drums, guitars, bass, whatever. Almost has a tube warmth, but with less mud, a more open top, and yet without the sharper edges you'd associate with a solid state.
It almost fools you it's tube, but without uncanny clarity.R. Rati

Ni siquiera me dieron la licencia
Pague la licencia y no me la dieron, les escribí y me ignoraron. Tuve que reclamar el importe a paypal.

Really "subtle"
To believe in that product, you really have to be... a believer. It does nothing, and if you push it, you get distortion, nothing else. This is pure fetishism.

Very smooth sound!
This has a smooth top similar to the 1073. Very nice and easy to get the vibe right!

Loving the sound
As a mic reviewer having the Manley Tube Preamp has been amazing, running even budget friendly mics sound great with this and for the price zero complaints.
