Calling all Tracking Brains...
Is anyone familiar with the Trident S20 Mic Pre?
Have a chance to pick one up; & couldn't seem to find much info on the web at all (save for the fact that they are designed by John Oram.)
It sounded great...fat like a tube pre but with a lot of clarity & detail up & down the band.
So I'm wondering:
Is it FET or Xformer based?
Since it sports only one gain control, Is it a single stage?
What makes it sound so rich?
Is the design & construction as good as the sound?
How does it hold up in a studio environment?
How does it stack up against other British designs like the Amek System 9098 or the Focusrite Red 8?
Is John Oram really a genius? (just kiddin'.) [Did hear great things about the old Trident consoles, tho.]
Thanks all,
