VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks · Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2015 11:54 pm Post subject: I needed a pre

After 234 years of service my Focusrite Penta gave up. In bypass it did everything I required, all the other buttons were of no use to me. I needed more of the same only less buttons so I bought this ...

I'm sure it'll be fine

It looks lovely. And, as it says, it's "Pure Class A." What more could you want? cool

I'm old-school...

I'm a sucker for anything with a VU meter on it.

I was in a quandary as to whether to get the M5 or the MSS-10. I went with the latter. I have yet to regret my decision.

Both top flight, but if you get the opportunity, you ought to compare it to one of these. They have a 90 day money back guarantee.

Been using an M5 daily with a 416 for a few years. Also loved running a 414 through it as well. Absolutely trouble free and dependable. No extreme coloration. You will also very much like the adjustable roll off filter. Great feature. Have mine racked up with the available ears.

Rick, pretty innit! MSS-10 would've been perfect but nowhere to be found in the UK. The M5 will do the job for me I'm sure.

You may know that I'm biased to Neve products. Your old Focusrite had Neve circuitry. The portico series are an excellent alternative. I'm running through a 5032 these days and have excellent feedback from clients and coaches about my sound. I've primarily used my 415 and the NTK also is received well.

I think you made the perfect choice. Crystal clear with no coloration. Pure. I love mine.
