Preamps: The Secret Sauce of Your Sound

Marc and Robert dive into the secret life of preamps and how they can turn a decent track into a goosebump moment. They’ll show you different models, explain their colors and quirks, and reveal why you still need a preamp in your chain – even if you’re working completely in the box.
