Official description
Classic Audio VP25

The VP25 is a clone of the preamps found in vintage '70's API consoles. It is identical to the CAPI VP26, except that it uses the larger EA2503 output transformer. The same one which is found in the VP312. This gives you a slightly cleaner low-end which makes the VP25 well suited for kick-drum or bass. A great complement to the a VP26.

Features


 * 60dB of gain provided by a 2520 style opamp, I regularily stock the GAR2520, GAR1731, and the SL2520 Red Dot.
 * -20dB Pad switch, polarity switch, and mute switch.
 * Fast drain 48V Phantom power.
 * Output attenuator which allows you to drive the opamp and 2503 output transformer HARD and attenuate back down to digital safe levels (this is something rarely implemented on Api style preamps, and makes for a huge variety of tones).
