Hazelrigg Industries VLC

The VLC Vacuum Tube Preamplifer / DI / EQ Line Processor from Hazelrigg Industries is a premium-grade, workhorse preamp and EQ that offers a go-to source for adding depth and richness to virtually any sound source. At the heart of this potent preamp is D.W. Fearn's legendary preamp and power supply design, providing generous gain with very low harmonic distortion. Exceptionally transparent and with plenty of headroom for using all sorts of microphones, the VLC expands your capabilities in the studio by unlocking a vast palette of sound colors in combination with your mic.

In addition to making microphones sing with balanced beauty, line and instrument level modes offer a great entry point for guitars and synths. The tube-based DI brings out exceptional tone for electric guitars and basses, and adds lush color and depth to synth sources. For mixers, the line level input lets you run sounds through the VLC in post production, imbuing any session with D.W. Fearn magic. The passive EQ adds an additional layer of sculpting to your tone, with high and low cuts and boosts working simultaneously to create complex and highly musical curves. Built on decades of tube wizardry, the VLC from Hazelrigg industries is a perfect choice for discerning engineers, making all your sounds sparkle and keeping you coming back for more.
