Fredenstein V.A.S. microphone preamp
AndyNuca 16.02.2018
The Fredenstein V.A.S. is a open transparent tool with a nice body, a toneprint of the discrete OP-AMP driving a good transformer. On vocals it shines, used with SM-7B sounds amazing, full, open, rounded. I use it with a T-Bone SCT-140 on acoustic instruments, snare sometimes, all with great results. Excelent design, wide array of options, Power Supply PSU inside, XLR and JACK ins and outs, headphone amp to check sound when positioning the mics. I give it a 5 star. Hutch Hutchinson (ex chief designer at Manley Labs) and the team did a great job. Did I mention the price?

If I could go back in time to slap myself for not buying this a few years back...

It is simply the best sounding piece of gear, not only in this price range, but way above. The next step in quality would be 4x times this one.
I can't belive that this even exists, because it brings a very good quality of sound to any home studio gear.

If you have a simple homerecording setup, then it is a must. Don't rely on your interface preamp, because it will never get as clean as this one. I record through an AT2020 microphone for years now. And sadly up until now I used only my scarlett 2i2 interface. I know the sound of this mic. Finally decided on this preamp, and I was blown away with the first couple of recordings I've made using it. I record acustic guitar very often. Up till now I've always had to EQ a lot to get some preferable results. With the Fredenstein MicPre it was as if the recording was the live sound. Which was my very goal. I always try to make the magic happen before the mic.
Cristal clear and very natural sound. I've read a whole lot of comments about other products in comperison, and a lot of people agree that this one is pretty much the most natural.

Amazing sound
freesongs 16.03.2023
I really liked how quiet and a lovely sound it outputs! It brings a quality to my vocals and although I never used a Neve preamp I can totally hear the difference from my ISA Focusrite preamp which I also love. I am satisfied with these two beasts and what a price!! I love the dedicated headphone output and the insert to use LA2 type of compressor in there for smooth vocals. I bought this based on comments from other buyers and am really happy with this purchase. At that price you cannot go wrong in any way!

A very good preamplifier for bass and lower mid sounds. Adds body to bass and extends lower frequency , typical of the iron core transformer inside.
