Meet the Black Lion Audio B173 mkII — the most portable 1073 British-sound around! The B173 mkII uses the same Cinemag input and output transformers as our B173 Quad for a whopping 70dB of gain, a revamped gain stage, and a lower noise floor for cleaner, lower distortion sound. A front panel D.I. delivers a harmonically rich tone to guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, and stepped input gain and variable output attenuation allow for perfect control over transformer saturation. • Big 1073-style gain • Cinemag input and output transformers • Variable output attenuation for control over transformer saturation • Front panel D.I. • Stepped input gain • 48V phantom power and phase inverse controls • Convenient half-rack sizing for mixing-and-matching
