There is a 'real tube in the VTB1 as seen below. It's a 'starved plate' design that uses a lower voltage on the plates than what typically might be used in more expensive preamps, such as the UA710 which also has a blend control. While it is a starved plate design, it still does impart a tubish coloration to the sound. It's a decent little preamp and I still use mine occasionally.
Studio Projects is still alive and kicking Mic Preamps by Studio Projects . I also have two of their mics, an SP C1 and a CS5.
Not without getting too deep into technical stuff, but I finally drilled the screw I stripped out and got inside of mine.
Your's say Rev-B, DEC-01... Mine is a REV-A APR-02.. My LED right by the Tube are white. Your's are Blue.
Funny That is not even a full year yet. Also, My Tube has "No" writing or ID marks on it. That I can see.
Hmmmm??
LOL
