Hello!

I was just wondering if any of you ever heard the GAP Pre73 (modd or unmodd)?
They look darned cheap, and some people sound happy about it.

Thanks for your time.

I don't own one, but I have a friend that has one, I looked over his shoulder when he changed the input and out transformer. I can't comment on the unit before the mod, but after it sounded very nice. It was present in the upper mids and had a smooth low end. I could see using it on vocals. Nice pre for the money.

This is just my personal opinion and it could be just that my monitors are crap but IMHO the effect of the Mod is negligible. It may be that over the course of a recording the mod may sound nicer on layered tracks but as it is, that GA PRE73 sounds pretty nice stock. The 1073 has a bit more body but it's also $3000 more. For the price, it's a smokin' deal.

I might even suggest that you purchase one of my Neve 3415A's? Why try to build a genuine imitation when you can have the real thing for less? $300 US gets you a 3415A, complete with Neve/St. Ives input & Marinair output transformer. Complete with a BA 438 input amplifier and a BA 440 output amplifier with all discrete transistors. You would need to reverse the input transformer. You would need to add some variable gain adjustment & resistance 20 DB microphone pad. So while everybody is trying to build a genuine imitations, you could have the real deal. And once you hear it, you'll love it, everyone will love it. I have a lot of these to sell, since I decommission my second 36 input Neve console.
