The Garbage Ideas Post Pre is a very interesting device. It is both a Mic Pre and a line level processor. It features custom wound input and output transformers as well as two different series amplifiers (1 or 1+2) with very different, albeit complementary clipping behaviors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAmp \"1\" features a maximum 65 dB of gain with an extremely low noise floor. It also features incredibly high bandwidth which lends itself to be able to clip without being prone to sounding \"distorted\", just more harmonic. Amp \"2\" can be added in series with \"1\" to give additional harmonic content and reduce dynamic range. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eLastly, RTFM otherwise known as \"Recallable Two-Bus Functionality Mode\", disables the \"IN\" potentiometer and fixes the gain at 35 dB with some additional padding to allow for clipping and saturation over mixbus\/program material with minimum issues with recall. The \"OUT\" potentiometer remains active to allow for attenuation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eGain: 30-65 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eEIN: -126 dBu terminated with 150 ohms 22-22k\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eTHD: choose your own adventure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad: -20 dB\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garbage Ideas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67648914325564,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6711\/1228\/files\/POSTPREFRONT.png?v=1791748669","url":"https:\/\/www.garbage-ideas.com\/products\/garbage-ideas-post-pre-microphone-preamp-and-line-level-clipper","provider":"Garbage Ideas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
