Sebatron 2000 with VUs

I believe it is just a 2 channel version of the 4000e, so the same audio results may apply.



Bowisc

My 4000e has shipped and I am looking forward to spending a good deal of time trying out different instruments, mics through it.



I have to say that service has been great. Sebatron has kept me in the loop while it was being built, and delivery was right on schedule.



IF for some reason, it doesn't work for me and I don't like the unit, it will go back to Sebatron without hesitation.



I would be glad to host some material in the form of high-res. MP3's for anyone interested in hearing a few tracks worth of Sebatron 4000e.



Bowisc

I just received my Sebatron VMP2000e last week. We used for scratch vox on a couple of pieces so far, so I still need to test it out throughly.



If I like it I intend to become a distributor or dealer in the US. So let me know off list if you are interested in Sebatron stuff.



Steve

It's great that you got the unit, but please, post some impressions. We are all going on the words of just a few people, and hearing your personal response would be very valuable. Please let us know more... how did the scratch takes sound next to your other pres?

I figured since folks are asking around, I got the "OK" to post this tune.



Here's a track recorded using only the Sebatron 4000e.

The band is called "Landed" from Melbourne AU and they tracked everything through the VMP4000e into Logic Platinum/Mac.

Comments will come soon. I am booked for the next 4 weeks solid so I will have to find time.





I have a lot of recording to do so we should have some opinions soon.



So far I like what it does in terms of EQ, and drive level flexibilty.



Steve

anyone had more experience with the Sebatron yet? I'm suprised to see none have posted about their new pres.

I agree with Steve about EQ. The "air/bright", and "deep" switches are a very neat tool to have onboard.



I'm loving my 4000e very much so. It sounds HUGE, very transparent (but can be pushed for tube-sat) and the bottom octaves are so stable and controlled... clear-sounding. This pre-amp is definitely unique in character... you should check one out. They are so worth the money, many times over.

I used the DRS-2 about 3 months ago on a project... on several session at another place. If I remember, it was used on overheads, acoustic guitar, and also snare. To me, the DRS-2 was very clean and open, yet it does have some color to it. In a musical way. Kind of reminds me of a Buzz, with some seasoning.



The Sebatron is definitely in the same league as Phoenix Audio, and many other high-end pre-amps, IMO. It does have much more flexibility as far as what kind of tones you can dial in. Both a clean-sounding, however the Sebatron can give you much more colorful shades. Not better, just different.



I would say go for the Sebatron- try it out.



Bowisc

Bowisc thanks for the info i,ll probably try the seb,phoenix,buzz,rnp,martech,great river,and universal audio.julian

VU's? I don't need no steen-kin' VU's ... that's what the meters in the DAW are for.. :D

VU meters sound better :D

Hi guys

I've been trying to find out a little more about Sebatron products but I seem to get more information from the USA then here in Australia. Even asking around the well know suppliers, they can't tell me alot about the stuff either. The web site is direct to Sebatron via the USA no direct link here in Australia except to Wayne Gardner. I like to hear some results from users not sellers and so far no results.





Thanks Nick

Thanks Alécio. That's good info. Great to see that things at Sebatron happen quickly. :tu:

Mine took about 6 weeks, from the time my credit card was charged, to the day it was shipped out to me.

Sebatron was up-front about it, so it wasn't too much... he delivered right on time (+ a little extra something).



It was well-worth the wait.
