RE: millennia preamp - OT



Yep that’s correct, they sound amazing BTW. A truly unique instrument that has a curved fretted fingerboard and is meant to be bowed, the sound is very warm and woody, and dare I say cello-like in timbre. Its an ideal instrument for a guitarist wanting to get in to the world of bowed instruments, or a cellist wanting to get more chordal and guitar-like. It aint cheap by guitar standards but it’s a bargain by classical cello standards. Small portable and fits in one of those cool coffin cases. The proprietary pickups sound wonderful and can handle any kind of volume or signal processing without feedback issues. I got to hear it when Erdem first got it and I was floored by the sound.

Hey Zoe,

 

I think he is referring to the Guitar viols by Jonathan Wilson. He makes a cello model that is actually tuned like like a 5 string bass but it is an octave higher outting it in the 'cello range' 

 

 

Scroll to the bottom and there is a video of him playing his guitar cello model. It sounds pretty awesome.

hey,

 

so sorry that this is off topic. but today i tried the millennia stt-1 micpreamp ( with high impedance instrument input. ) wow! this is the greatest, most transparent preamp that i have ever heard. incredible. my new cello guitar came to life. it was as though i became a cellist :)

 

if you get chance, please do yourself a favor and try this unit. it seems that it will work great with guitar, bass, vocals, drums etc.

 

thanks and best.
