Description
 
The VLC is a high-performance Preamp/EQ/DI combo that offers world-class sound quality while being compact enough to fit into an overhead bin. Built on the renowned preamp and power supply design from D.W. Fearn's VT series of tube microphone preamps, the VLC delivers sonic transparency and impressive headroom. It's perfect for dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mics, giving you stunning results and a fresh approach to your mic locker. With a front panel rotary switch, you can select between microphone, instrument (DI), or balanced line-level input. The all-tube DI path works wonders for acoustic instruments with pickups, electric bass, and synths, while the line-level input allows for "re-preamping" during mixing, a secret trick used by many VLC users to add extra life to tracks.

Beyond the input and gain stages, the VLC offers powerful tone shaping through its passive LC EQ. It features variable low and high boost/cut controls, each with a two-way frequency select switch for detailed tone control. These musical and intuitive EQ controls let you sculpt your sound with precision, even at extreme settings. An EQ In/Out toggle switch is also included for quick comparison, making it easier to fine-tune your tone.
