So I just got a pair..........and yup one was broken its okay..... its okay because The one that worked blew me out of the water on voxs. I might have to add 2 more to the collection. I notice the more gain you give it the more color it adds so if your looking for a clean sound be easy on the output however if you looking for a more colored sound lower the input and crank the output. I really like what I am hearing thus far. As everything else this is not for everything but I think I found my go to male VOX hiphop pre. 300 dollars gets you a solid thick vocal. OHH BTW I am using a u87.
I have never heard an original 1073 however I can say this compaired to my 737sp, ADL 600, CL 7602s, API 512c's and other pres this holds it own. For 300 bucks!! I hope it doesnt die in a week. Also big thanks to that man WARHEAD! Hes so good to do business with....Never leaves ya hanging! Thanks WAR!
