Female Vocals using X-12 Mic Preamp

Courtesy of Jason Mallow!

How does the X-12 pre sound with vocals??? This clips shows the X-12 preamp used as a vocal mic preamp with a Shure SM7 into an LA-3 type limiter with no more than 3dB of reduction. A little EQ, compression and reverb and it SOUNDS GREAT!

The X-12 Preamp and the SM7 is my favorite pairing. It's a very good pairing.

It really kicks a*s on vocals.  It does that thing that you hear on old Foreigner records.  It adds the right amount of angst.
