Peavey VPM-2

[MilesWonderland]

Has anyone used this mic pre. I need a good stereo tube preamp. I've heard good things about this and am a little leary of the Peavey name for pro audio. I'm saving up for the Vintech 1272's but wondered if this would be a good choice for half the price???? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Help.

thanks

go with your gut. and hopefully it's screaming "anything but peavey". check out the hhb 4 channel valve pre @$700.

It sounds like it's built (which is good). However, I've 'heard' comments like, it wails after you change the tubes...

i've been using one ever since they first came out. it's a great unit in my opinion. i was also leary of the peavy name at first until a local salesman brought one to the studio for a try out. i made him leave it.

Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stoneage, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, L7, Limp Bizkit...) is a big fan of the VMP-2.

The VMP-2 is a fantastic unit! I highly recommend it.

Hey Miles . . . . how did you make out with you VMP-2?

At our studio here we have every kind of pre-amp available.
Neve's, Tube Teck, Avalon, Manley, you get the idea. The VMP-2 is probably the
best 2 channel pre-amp for the money. The eq is to die for if used correctly.
The tubes are run at high voltage and continueous!

The HHB Radius 10 4 channel (which we have) is nice for the fact that it's 4 channels. The VMP-2 blows it out of the water. The Radius cant hold water to it in any area. (Except that it has 4 channels)

Hey Marty,
Thanks for the advice.. I love my Sytek mpx for my 4 channel.... I think I'll check out the Peavey and the neve's .. in that order.

The next purchase is the MiniDDAC to compliment my rosetta..
