MESA/Boogie
Quad preamp – sold
All 8 tubes are NOS Tesla E83CC tubes (these are 100%
identical to the Telefunken ECC803S and have nothing to do with JJ tubes). This
makes a HUGE difference and brings the highly acclaimed preamp to an even
higher level. The tubes alone cost over 250 euro’s! Comes with a Nobels MS-8 midi switcher.
You can connect a midi foot controller to it or just switch manually.

5x BFE
Filtek SB3 One set of 2x BFE Filtek SB3 = 99 euro www.tubefreak.com/BFE-SB3-German-Manual.zip
Unfortunately one channel suddenly lacks bass, probably a bad capacitor. There for the price is dropped from 299 to 199. The other channel still sounds fantastic: BIG, FAT & ANALOG
Each channel has a bypass, 0.16 tot 2.0 octaves, -16dB to + 16dB of gain and 4
frequencies:
22hz to 300hz or 220hz to 3khz
22hz to 300hz or 220hz to 3khz
100hz to 1.0khz or 1khz to 10kHz
180hz to 2.1khz or 1.8khz to 21khz
This vintage
German mono laboratory filter uses very high quality parts. Just look at the
detailed pics and start drooling. The unit is
modified to accommodate unbalanced in and output and operates in band pass mode.
The left side determines the high pass filter and the right the low pass filter.
It can easily be modified to separate channels of dedicated low pass and high
pass filters.
The precision of this unit is unbelievable for an analog
unit. A 6 position rotary switch selects the freq range. The manual adjustment slowly
and precisely adjusts the turn over frequency and according analog
meter. If you look at the inside pics you’ll see that
the frequency adjustment knob mechanically operates 5 potentionmeters!
This is superbly build and must have costs a fortune when it came out.
SPL Optimizer EQ – sold
Very interesting EQ with
unique features.
- dual band stereo EQ or 4 band mono EQ
- low pass / band pass / high pass filter / parametric / notch
- -12dB to +12dB gain range
- Q between 1.5 tot 0.2
- freq range from 10Hz to 2.4kHz, 16 to 3.3k, 34 to 7.1k or 112 to 23kHz
- output gain of -80 tot +5dB
These units are known for it’s
great sound. What set’s this one apart from the rest are the modifications:
- variable tube distortion added
- tubes replaced with NOS ECC81 tubes by RFT/Muhlhausen
- input circuit replaced with high-end Burr Brown OPA2604
- output circuit replaced with high-end Burr Brown OPA2134
- buffer circuit replaced with MC38078N
- upgraded power supply
With these mods the unit sounds like non other and is
great for mastering or other stereo audio applications. The unique variable
tube distortion is added and will give you everything from clean warm tube
sound, to controlled tube edge and even full 100% tube distortion. Great for adding character to digital recordings, drums, synths, backing vocals, etc. Due to the
modifications, the compression only works in stereo mode. In dual mono
(unlinked) mode, only the right side has an active compression circuit. Killer
unit, the reason I part with it is because I have several other high-end tube
units.
Famous AMR Peavey tube preamp, with great authentic
tube sound. Search the web and you’ll find only good reviews. The tubes in this
unit are upgraded to get the best possible tube sound. 
Peavey Tube Sweetener – 199 euro
Great distortion unit to add
some character to dull/digital sound sources.
Works on 120 volts.
This is a great piece of gear and is very wanted
for their sound. It has a 100 watt loadbox, powersoak, power attenuator with several output options and
of course the speaker sim options. Excellent condition, very sturdy build and gives great recording
results. Thanks to the perfect analog design the
speaker sim sounds warmer and more realistic then
most digital speaker sims.
Sony
CD Architect 4 - 60 euro
Mastering software, produces CDs to Red Book standard, easy to use, complete
with sony plugins, original
box and manual.
These are great vintage mono limiter cards with big Haufe trafo’s and a very good
sound. Function wise it's very close to the Hoff Dynamic Master, but with added
sound quality thanks to the transformers.
