7enderhead Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Hello, Up for grabs is my 1980 Intersound IVP preamp. It features a very nice tube emulation channel, along with 4 semi-parametric mid controls. It has a problem with the channel switching mechanism, so it's the tube channel only (which can be made to sound like the clean channel if using lower gain settings). The switching is done electronically, so it might be a dried up capacitor or the like. One potentiometer knob is missing, and, as seems to be the case with these amps, the caps for the frequency controls are long gone. The pots themselves are reasonably okay for an amp of this age, they are not pristine, but they never gave me any trouble. This used to be the preamp in my big rig for many years. The sound can be fine-tuned with the gain control, from clean to slightly warm to woolly to overdriven. The sound demo in my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=126153"]Warmoth 54 Precision Gold Sparkle sales thread[/url] has been recorded with this amp. The controls were all set flat, with some added warmth using a slightly higher gain setting. I'd like 130£/150€ for this amp (plus a few bucks for p&p, it will be shipped from Austria). Trade-wise, I'm interested in high-quality compressors. More pictures to be found [url="http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n160/7enderhead/Intersound%20IVP/"]in this gallery[/url].
