Premium Components
The WA12 MKII Mic Pre Black is based around a discrete op-amp, the X731, which is a reproduction of the vintage classic Melcor 1731, considered by some to be the warmer predecessor to the modern 2520-style op-amp. The X731 can achieve vibrant, clean and lifelike tones; but can also be driven into mild saturation at much higher gain levels. The effects can be subtle, but very pleasing to the ear. The WA12 MKII Mic Pre Black can also accept any discrete op-amp on the market which conforms to the +/-16v, 2520 pinout standard.
