Description

FetHead Germanium is a high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides a punchy and direct, ‘larger than life’ germanium sound for ribbon and dynamic microphones, adding classy Germanium harmonics. Sounding full and rich it is reminiscent of much higher priced vintage gear, making FetHead Ge's desirable coloration a really great addition to (Interface) preamps which sound rather neutral. Germanium transistors were widely used in earliest transistor designs by Neve, EMI, Telefunken, and Fairchild, and have developed a reputation for a decidedly vintage mojo that remains sought after today. We created a novel hybrid circuit that consists of low noise JFets and a hand- selected ‘new old stock’ germanium transistor to take full advantage of the "Germanium" sound and at the same time achieve the same sonic quality we are known for. Some ribbon microphone do not tolerate phantom power. FetHead Germanium circuit uses 48v phantom power but shields it from the microphone, your microphone is protected.

    • Great Little Pre
If you have a dynamic mic and you have to crank the input gain on your audio interface to get a decent signal level, this is a must-have alternative. Gives you a strong, clean signal and allows you to keep the input gain down, lowering the noise floor. If you're a $10k professional music producer, you'll probably want a higher-end preamp. If you're making a podcast and just want a decent mic signal, this is a well-made, cost-effective solution. ... show more

    • Buen producto
Funciona como especifican. Hay que tener cuidado con la ganancia y volumen porque bota un chorro pero de calidad. No es compatible con el Yamaha stagepas 400i (distorsiona) pero si OK con Mackie ProFx12v3 y la interfaz Presonus.

    • Instant vibe!
Does exactly what it says, adds clean boost to a gain hungry SM57 my bass player immediately noticed a difference at rehearsal today. Germanium adds a certain low mid girth to my vocal and gives my board's eq more juice at each setting. I got a great deal on this too at 69$ on sale. I'm happy.

    • Really wakes up a rubbon Mic
I needed more gazats for my ribbon mic. So I opted for for a Triton unit. Made in Holland, which is a good thing. The Dutch are great engineers, I worked for ASML (Veldhonve) for 32 years. This products took my RE144 from dismal to bliss. I recommend it.

    • really loose connection for some reason
I got this for my new MV7 dynamic mic thinking it would help gain but right away I noticed that its connection on the mic was super loose for some reason. I'm not sure if I got a faulty one or it's my MV7 xlr port problem. but with a regular xlr cable I used on MV7 fits perfectly fine and stays in place so I think it's indeed this Triton Fethead that's loose. I'm going to return this. ... show more

    • Adds gain without noise
Adds gain without noise between my SM57 and focusrite 2i2 to record my acoustic guitar. Works great! Now the mic pics up my mistakes too... guess I gotta work on that.

    • Great price point and value!
Works great adding gain to my SM7B mic. Really made a difference without changing character of audio too much.
