Selling our Acme Audio MTP-66 Motown Tube Preamp / DI in Mint condition. This unit has only ever been used in my personal home recording studio and has been carefully maintained. It's exceptionally clean, as shown in the photos.

Includes the original Acme Audio packaging and power cable.

The MTP-66 is a beautifully built, all-tube microphone preamp and direct box, handmade in Detroit and inspired by the legendary Motown recording circuits of the 1960s. Based on the original Motown engineering designs, it delivers the rich harmonics, punch, warmth, and natural tube saturation associated with those classic recordings.

What makes this preamp particularly special is its ability to serve as both a microphone preamp and an instrument DI. It's especially well suited for bass guitar, electric guitar, keyboards, vocals, and drums.

The independent input and output controls allow you to dial in everything from subtle tube coloration to more driven, harmonically rich tones.
