Smooth as Silk

ProducerJeff 10.11.2020

I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but the difference was immediately clear. Using the same mic I've known for years it was suddenly more three dimensional. It was at both times warmer and clearer and stood out more eloquently in the mix. In many ways it was the quality of sound that I had been missing in my vocal chain for years, that despite having a 5012 and an Avalon 737sp.

Doesn't seem sufficient for the price

Jim_Clock 07.01.2026

I'm not musical expert, but overall, it didn't give me what I needed. Playing guitar through this is not quite what it's made for (imho), especially when it's then heavily distorted. It's very rounded. Maybe for clean guitar - a different story, but I also compared it to HA73 EQ which costs less and offers way more sound shaping functionality - that one you can buy and be more ensured that it will be used for more use cases.
Singing was a secondary thing for me, so I didn't tried that since my primary need is not met.
Trim has nice feel and a small notch in the middle that helps to feel where "0" is.

The real thing

The fantastic people at Thomann helped me try the Heritage, Great River RN517 and the Neve1073. I chose the Neve. Sounds amazing. Excellent service as ever!

Good sound

Eric Degenaar 21.09.2019

Nice warm and smooth sound. It even makes my Axe FX sound warmer and less digital. Recordings with miced acoustic instruments (guitar & bouzouki) sound great and direct bass and electric guitar sound very good too.
