Overview

Vintage tone and modern design meet in a versatile preamp.

The Soyuz Lakeside preamp delivers lush, colorful tone to elevate your recordings. This all-discrete, single-channel preamp uses custom transformers and meticulous craftsmanship to add dimension to any microphone or instrument. Designed for capturing shimmering vocals, emotive guitars and musical drums, the Lakeside preamp offers an effortlessly polished sound to make it an indispensable piece of any studio.

Premium Materials for Rich Resonance

At the heart of the Lakeside preamp are custom-wound transformers on both the input and output, imbuing your sound with rich harmonic texture. The Class A, fully discrete, through-hole circuitry ensures maximum performance and clarity. Together, these components deliver the vibe and sonic richness of prized vintage gear with the benefits of modern engineering like high headroom, low noise and reliability.

Simple Controls for Finding Your Sound

The Lakeside preamp is intentionally designed to be inviting and intuitive, enabling you to quickly dial in the perfect sound. The stepped gain switch sets your signal to the optimal level and amount of saturation with a satisfying click. The output trim knob provides balanced, precise control for fine-tuning your level. With these two knobs, explore a range of sounds and pair multiple units for stereo matching. Whether you want tasteful color or driven distortion, the Lakeside delivers versatility not found in plugins.

Musical High Pass Filter

The unique, inductor-based high pass filter adds control and creativity. The sturdy selector switch targets frequencies from 40Hz–330Hz with a resonance beyond basic tone shaping. Quickly sculpt your sound with a natural taper that preserves the feeling of your original source while encouraging experimentation. Use the filter's resonances to discover surprises in your sound, whether cutting through rumble or adding clarity.

Direct Input for Continued Versatility

The Lakeside preamp enhances any microphone, with a full-bodied sound adding new dimension to condensers, dynamics and ribbons alike. The 1/4" DI on the front panel adds weight and life to any instrument or high-impedance source, perfect for bass guitars, electrics, synths, drum machines and more. Get creative by re-amping stems, recordings and mixes through the Lakeside to take advantage of its warmth and distinct character across any track.
