SSL pre
Heya all!
Here’s a bit of info:
Saves me writing back to all the emails individually.
As for the question of prices and such.
The price point for a single card is 749.00 Canadian dollars per single unit.
(This breaks down to 559.00 usd per card, 539.00 eur per card or 469.00 gbp per card)
This is for one unit only.
The price to buy multiples is 629.00 Canadian per card for up to a single bucket of 8.
(469.00 usd, 455.00 eur and 399.00 gbp per card)
Anything passed 8 at a time and the price will reflect a better discount per card.
549.00 cad (399.00 usd, 385.00 eur or 339.00 gbp)
What I’m willing to do for anyone on our forum wanting to taste test the preamp is to sell singles at a bit of a price break from the single card price and as well offer this:
If you keep it and buy a bucket worth or more. I’ll apply the single card purchase price to the next order to keep it aligned with the discount price. Or…
If it doesn’t do it you, I’ll buy the card back with a 15% (restocking fee) no problem.
I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this.
What you end up with is a Class A preamp circuit with transformer input. Great tone.
This stands up to the Neve and other tone style preamps but has more control and focus than the neves etc.
Even just comparing this preamp section to the original preamps. It’s more extended and accurate. Has vibe. Compresses well. Mixes even better.
The other bonus of this upgrade is since the preamp and line are together on one card, you get a fresh line circuit with selected precision parts. These current parts have specs that are identical to the original intent of the console, but with current parts we have the luxury of having available pieces with better response and specs than the parts that were available 30-40 years ago.
Also, it’s a simple drop in plug and play upgrade!
I’ve only got 4 cards left at the moment and will be doing another round of transformer order shortly. (The longest wait is for this part, bout 2 weeks lead time now which isn’t bad since it used to be 16!!)
The website is about to go live.
This preamp and other gear will be under the banner of Desert island gear.
I have a 4 product line coming along side this SSL preamp / line upgrade card.
Keep me posted if you have any questions.
I’m at my studio email : halomusichamilton@gmail.com at the moment before the site goes live.
