The Meris 440 Mic Preamp is a unique 500 Series studio preamp with a pedal friendly effects loop built into it, designed to make it the ultimate mic pre for guitar.
The Meris 440, designed and built in L.A., California, contains only the highest quality components available today, like legendary Cinemag Input and Output transformers and hybrid-discrete opamps that receive and drive each respective transformer section. These parts all unite to create highly sought after classic American mic preamp tone.
Noteable features of the 440 include:
- High Pass Filter that selects between 80Hz and 200Hz
- Custom 7kHz or 4kHz High Shelf Filter to achieve the optimum tone for your instrument recording
- 20dB Pad, Phase Reverse and Phantom Power switches
The front panel controls are very clearly laid out making the 440 an extremely easy 500 series preamp to use. Plugging your guitar pedal into the effects loop means you can now add your favourite reverb or delay effects into the signal chain, distortion-free and without the need for any intermediary equipment.
The Meris 440’s effects loop input also doubles as a super-clean and smooth sounding D.I. for direct recording, adding to its versitility.
