Does anyone know anything about this pre amp?
Questions:
How does it sound?
How similar is it to the 350 pre amps?
Are replacement parts hard to find?
Thanks
Ampex 601 pre amp
2Yeah, I've got several of these that i recapped and put into wooden boxes. all the tubes are pretty standard. They sound pretty cool, i use them mostly for DI boxes, but they're great at creating overloaded kick and snare sounds. I have an Ampex 400, which I believe came just before the 350, and its definitely a better mic pre than the 601's, much bigger sounding and better detail, the 601's have some low frequency distortion i've noticed. useful effects box.
