Description

A preamplifier, also known as a preamp, is an electronic amplifier that converts a weak electrical signal into an output signal strong enough to be noise-tolerant and strong enough for further processing, or for sending to a power amplifier and a loudspeaker. Without this, the final signal would be noisy or distorted.

TC Electronic Gold Channel

Hi

i have an opportunity to pick up an TC electronic Gold Channel for 750 bucks in perfect shape. i have never heard one before and will not really have a chance to try it.

i am looking for another Pre to go with my M5 and this will give me a stereo option

if anyone has used this i would love a review of it and whether or not 750 is a good deal

thanks

Agressive preamps...yes more preamp questions!

Ok guys. I've seen numerous times that API make the aggressive preamp for drums.

My question is. .are there any cheap, but aggressive sounding preamps? I know that you get what you pay for and some opinions are that a $100 pre is about the same as a $500 pre, but in the mid-level class. is there anything that is colored and aggressive?

MWAHAHAHA! Preamps! What they are...and what they do!

I think I jumped a little head first into this whole thing. I am fresh out of college with a degree in Software Engineering and a master plan to make money so I can buy some sweet gear and get my music off in an beautiful explosion! I have a good job, about 30 min worth of songs almost completed and am looking to get a reasonable setup for gear so I can concentrate on writing and recording.
