Lafayette 99-45635 Transistorized Stereo Mic Mixer - Vintage Utility Preamp Great for Guitar

This Lafayette 99-45635 stereo mic mixer is a rare mic pre with old-school charm and surprisingly flexible routing for its age. With four mic inputs and both mono/stereo summing options, it’s perfect for low-input setups, retro audio chains, or collectors building out a vintage broadcast or ham radio rig. It might’ve been born for radio broadcast and light PA duty, but don’t be fooled—this little beast doubles as a secret weapon for guitarists chasing that raw, "straight-into-the-board" tone. Plug your axe straight in and you’ll tap into a touch of odd-ordered harmonic distortion that gives chords some snarl and solos a snappy, mid-forward edge—perfect for garage rock, punk, or lo-fi blues grit.

It’s got the kind of wear you'd expect from a decades-old workhorse—light scuffs on the metal case and patina on the knobs—but everything is still in place and working great. As an added bonus, this box has been modded to accept a standard guitar pedal style 9v center-negative adapter as it’s power source, in addition to the original battery compartment.

If you’re after something that captures that analog character while still pulling its weight in a live or hobbyist studio, this Lafayette's got both history and heart.
