CAPI VP26 - 500 series API Style Preamp - Stepped - Litz Wire

8/3/26 - In Stock and Ready to Ship!

***Brand New with 2 Yr Warranty.***

These are fantastic preamps, fully tested, and professionally built. If you want that vintage API tone, this is the best way to get it! Awesome on acoustic instruments, drums, electric guitar, etc.

Note, these are the stepped gain version, with the Litz wire transformers, both of which are upgrades to the stock model.

By default, we include the extremely popular CA-0252 opamp, We also offer Red Dot opamps, Rogue 5, Rogue 6, and Gar2520 among others. Send us a message for more info on opamp options.

We also stock the CAPI VP26, VP28, and 312, so feel free to contact us if you're trying to decide which preamp is best for you.

In short, get the VP26 if you want the vintage API tone with a full, but controlled low end. The VP25 sounds extremely similar, but with a slightly bigger low end. Get a VP312 if you want a slightly more modern, less colored version of the API preamp.... it retains a little more high end detail than the VP25/26.

Thanks!
