Lo-Fi
Looking for something aggressive, trashy, or just plain interesting? Try the Lo-Fi tip. It gives you
tones that are very band passed (meaning there's little low end or extreme high end), with lots of
distortion available from the driver knob. You'll find it's just the thing when you want your vocals
to sound like they came through a telephone, megaphone or toy microphone.
Vintage
Incorporating elements of analog tape machines of the day, this composite model is true to form,
lacking the crystal clear 8k and above which wouldn’t arrive for years.
Modern
This model is based on* an Avalon® VT-737,
which is an excellent example of a modern tube
preamp design incorporating an all-discrete, Class
A transistor circuit in the built-in 4-band equalizer.
This is a good choice for clean, bright, non-
compressed sound, with soft transients.
