Brent Averill 1272 late 90s - early 2000s - Blue serial# 7476K

Very good, lightly used condition. Includes power supply. A few tiny scratches on power supply and faceplate. Great sounding preamp! I used for guitars, snare drum, but sounds great on many instruments. This is a single channel unit. Serial# is 7476/K.

The Brent Averill 1272 Neve preamp yields a really fat sound. It seems to add subharmonics to the low end which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smooths the top end which gives the highs a silky sheen. The 1272 also compresses transients a little bit. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound. An added bonus is to use the DI inputs to fatten samples, synths and mixes since the DI can handle line levels.
