What makes Neve preamps so great? Neve clone teardown

- Neve's vintage mic preamp design is the most celebrated and imitated of all time. But what's inside and that makes it so damn special? In this video I tear down a GAP Pre-73 Neve preamp clone and walk through the parts and the circuit.
“... if you’ve made it this far into the video, I hate to break it to you, but you are a nerd” 😂
This is a Neve clone, therefore you aren't evaluating a Neve preamp. You have to title this video, "Evaluating a Neve clone"
Is it a good mic preamp or is it junk?
Wow. there is nothing to it. Mainly just caps, resistors and connectors. I hope this is a low budget device.
I changed from a dislike to a like- because I know you have so much going on its hard to keep a video under 13 minutes. But you really only said what makes the neve preamp special is Its minimal components and the type of components, but the real specialty is in the type of components. What type of components and why are they special here in this particular model?
Definite nerd here! I'd love to see a teardown/explanation of how the different compressor detector circuits work, opto/vca/fet etc...
Not sure why you need to show your picture onscreen while you're explaining the nomenclature, but it's interfering with the main picture!
The only thing I actually want to see is an experienced engineer comparing the PCBs, components and build quality of different clones. I.e. comparison of 1176 clones, 2A clones, 1073 clones, Pultec clones. I can't find any videos like that existing on UA-cam, nobody has ever made something like that. But maybe it's asking too much to expect someone to get hold of multiple clones.
Let’s try to figure out why a Orange tastes like a orange by looking at a apple…
Clicking on this again to give you the view. Would love to hear your take on the Trident A Range Preamp design.
This channel deserves to grow. Amiable delivery with just enough teccy stuff to satisfy the curious.
Thankyou! Between this and the API teardown, now I understand what it is about each that makes them special.
Thank you for the diligence on the video quality!
Your comments on balanced internals was so useful, just what I needed to hear.
Fantastic video! I learned a lot, especially about voltage vs current amplification. Thank you Peterson.
Totally interesting video. Amazing how the Neve pre-amps were/are designed...Thanks for sharing it.
this channel is such a beautiful gem! thank you
This was awesome! Love this type of content!!
Awesome channel, loved the 1176 teardown and this one, Neve 1073 EQ, API 550/560 and Pultec EQ would be very interesting as well!
Excellent video man!! Keep them coming!
