AMPEX 601 TUBE MIC/LINE PREAMP
This auction is for an great sounding Ampex 601 1/4" reel to reel with a built in tube preamp. I've never tested the tape machine, but the motors do spin and the controls operate as expected. Like most people I use this for the preamp.
-I love this as an insert on drum mixes, it really nails an early 60's rock sound (probably because it's over 40 years old!)
-It also makes a fantastic guitar or bass DI, nothing beats a cranked tube amp but that usually isn't possible in my bedroom studio.
-The 601 is not a clean preamp, and since I never expect that from it I'm always happy with what I get. It can go from a warm gritty sparkle to full on tube saturation.
-The unit comes in it's original samsonite suit case which is in excellent condition.
If the 601 worked for Allen Lomax and Bright Eyes, you can make some cool sounds with it too!
The wiki has links to the manual and shematics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampex_601
This site has a beautiful drawing and some cool info http://jproc.ca/rrp/ampex_601.html
