Re: millennia preamp - OT




hey,
 
i am using the electric guitar naked spartan version. that is the cheapest model without any midi.
 
i have uploaded a folder that contains 4 audio files with the violguitar with 4 different preamp setting. the millennia stt-1 solid state, millennia stt-1 tube, tl audio vp1 tube preamp, joemeek vc6q preamp. check out the transparency on the millennia stt-1!
 
 
bear in mind that i can not play this instrument well at all! :) i especially tried some extended techniques and lots of harmonics to hear the transparency on the preamps.
 
best.
