Warm Audio WA-MPX Microphone Tube Preamplifier

 OLD SCHOOL IS NOW IN SESSION Injecting legendary tube warmth from one of the most formative eras of music history, the WA-MPX from Warm Audio is an authentic reproduction of the preamp used in the AMPEX 351 tape machine, a history changing microphone pre used by such famed artists as Les Paul, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Roy Orbison, and more.
