Selling this mint Neve 88RLB preamp, perfect condition and working order, lightly used in a smoke free studio. It’s a great mix of clean and warm, especially for vocals and acoustic guitar, and bass guitar. The re-gen funtion is perfect for adding transformer color to the line input as well.

From the AMS Neve website:

Like the 88RS console preamp, the 88RLB uses a custom specification Marinair® transformer to balance the microphone input stage; this delivers subtle warmth and tonality to signals while retaining transparency across a wide frequency bandwidth.

The microphone preamp produces up to 70dBu of microphone gain fed through the transformer-balanced input; the signal then flows through an electronically-balanced output stage ensuring ultimate transparency when connecting to audio interfaces, analogue outboard gear, or tape machines.

Three inputs, using combined connections, provide an ideal platform for recording any instrument – dynamic, condenser, or ribbon microphones, line-level devices such as synthesizers or drum machines, and a host of high impedance instruments.

The Re-Gen function expands upon the 88RS console preamp capabilities, allowing line and DI signals to benefit from the Marinair® transformer colouration. This feature adds Neve® console sound to instruments or synthesizers at the push of a button.
