Germ 500 MKII Pre Amp
500 Series Module
From Chandler Limited:
The Chandler Limited Little Germ 500 MKII preamp is a discrete, transformer balanced 500 Series module that combines Wade Goeke’s designs with recording studio favorites of the past.
The Germ 500 MKII is an updated version of our original Germ 500. This unit has an improved faceplate layout and nicer look. It uses classic germanium transistors in all Class A, transformer balanced circuits. The Germ 500 MKII is our well-known Germanium Preamp adapted for 500 series racks. We use the same transformers and amp blocks to assure the sound is consistent with our rack version; the sound is both thick and creamy!
We’ve updated the power on the MKII so there no known power-up issues with current lunchboxes and rack systems.
