Introducing: LINE2PRE Re-Preamp November 18, 2011 19:19 13 Comments

The LINE2PRE is a tool for sending your pre-recorded tracks through your mic preamps for additional harmonic saturation. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

Reamping boxes like the LINE2AMP are a great studio tool for those who have a lot of amps, pedals, and other guitar-level gear lying around. Well, I dunno about you, but, being a recording engineer, I've invested a lot of more in awesome mic preamps than in guitar gear. And as well all know, a preamp that overdrives nicely is one of nature's finest signal processors. So I put together this little box that basically performs the same function as the LINE2AMP, but with a little extra volume reduction, an output impedance tailored to mic preamps, and an XLR output jack. Exceedingly simple, but it does it's job quietly and with pretty much zero sonic fingerprint.

 

Full kits and assembly instructions for the LINE2PRE will be available in the store in early 2015.
