i know what the germ pre sounds like. i was one of the first germ owners and perhaps it's loudest cheerleader... so it's my dream to have a bigger version of my favorite preamp with more knobs & features... i'm suggesting a direction.. whether it's possible or wade agrees with the aesthetic is a different kettle of fish.. but i have to suggest it.
i think the sound represented by the files comes from banging the input transformer of a neve... i got really close to this with a 3114, banging the MIC PRE input with a sampler... its one of the wonderful sounds you can get by plugging things in wrong (line out into mic pre input)... kinda like the 1176's unintentional "all 4 ratio buttons IN" slam mode.
i'm sick of clean.. gimme more hi-fi dirt. i don't want a Copy, i want Similar But Different... a cousin, not a twin.
to me those 2 example tracks represent some of my favorite sounds ever on a record... consider them Inspiration.
