Soundlad Liverpool Nice One Preamp - Used

From Soundlad Liverpool:

Cinematic cleans, post-rock grit, full bore blown out drive, or just a little hi-fi polish to send your tone over the edge.

A few years ago, MusicRadar described our Clean Machine preamp as "a somewhat flawed masterpiece." Love that. Something very us about it. But those two extra words landed, and stuck.

For. Years.

Then one day, about a year ago, we decided to get Clean Machine back on the bench and see about that "somewhat flawed" bit.

Initial tests forced us to stop selling "Clean Machine". We couldn't in good conscience sell it with what was coming together in front of us.

By the time we were done we had something completely different. If Clean Machine was Anakin, this thing was Vader.

High-headroom audiophile grade input and output buffers to keep every bit of your guitar intact. A tuned FET based preamp with inductive filtering and transformer-isolated input. And finally, a blendable parallel clean path that has a transparent limiter built in to match the dynamic response of the preamp.

Dig in and it blooms cohesively. No spiking on the attack or clean chords jumping out of the mix.

Back off and it stays open, clear and dynamic. No pumping from the compressor throwing off the dynamics, just your clean sound behaving exactly like your drive sound.

You could have it only on the clean side and make use of the buffering/limiter chain to tidy up your cleans. Or you could just have it on the drive side and enjoy an easily integrated and modified Clean Machine.

We reckon the magic is somewhere in between.

Overall? The feel of a great valve amp sitting exactly where you want it, with plenty of play either side.

Clarity. Cohesion. Texture. 

NiceOne.
