The IGS 572 Red Stripe 500-Series Preamp is a pure tube preamp in a 500-series format. With a big sound footprint, the Red Stripe is excellent for recording any sources, including line signals from microphones, instruments like guitars or keyboards.
The IGS 572 Red Stripe 500-Series Preamp is a mic/instrument preamp designed in the 500 standard. The module is transformer balanced on input and output using IGS's own custom transformers. All regulators on the front panel are stepped switches. It features Hi-Z input at its front.
In Detail
This is an excellent preamplifier, that can be used with a variety of sources: line signals, guitar pickups (via Hi-Z input), dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones. It always provides outstanding results. With one knob gain control (41-stepped) you can push it nicely, but still make sure that you don't overload the next stage of your signal chain. The second stage overloading gives some sweet harmonics vibe. Adds a lot of unique flavour. Hi Z input is accessible from the front of unit. Handy!
