GAP Pre73 vs ALCTRON MP73X2 - Pre Amp Test

This is a short Pre-Amp test comparing the 'Golden Age Project Pre73 Mk III', with the 'Alctron MP73X2', on a Snare Drum. Three different Gain settings were tested, to see the difference in any colour/harmonic distortion between the three (20/40/60). Gain staging was based on the 'Zoom L20' meters, with some curious differences with the two Pre's Output settings, as the GAP seemed to show more sensitivity.
The Snare drum used was a rare Mapex 14x5.5 Black Panther SS Seamless Steel Shell, and the Mic choice was two 'Stagg SDM70' dynamic mic's, chosen due to being able to track with 2 identical mic's, but also as they do a great job at replicating an SM57.

on the high end alctron is just as good as other clones so for snares alctron is a winner especially because of its price, but for vocals and acoustic guitars I find it's lacking low and mid responses. but you can still use EQ on the alctron and compensate for those lacking energy I think it's still a good deal for the price. Thank you for your shoot out!

Thanks for the comment and cool info @kangdylan 😎 tbh I only use mine for Drum Room (Avantone CK6), and Drum Hallway (Avantone CK7). I find it works great for this, especially driving the gain a fair bit, or for a really clean sound of the kit. I'm just having 4 of my GAP PRE73 MK III's upgraded this week, with Carnhill Input/Output transformers, and vintage Motorola 2N3055 Transistors 🙂 I think they will be very similar to the GAP Premier line of Pre73's then, or hopefully closer to the vintage Neve 73 sound in general.

Hey TheDoug2103 - ha ha yes I have ti say I didn't hear any difference either, but can make the argument that they both show no difference in attempting a similar sound to a Neve 1073. Thanks for the comment!

well.. all reports say that the internals of the alctron is indeed a GAP 73... so they are identical as far as I know.

Ha ha my apologies 🙃😂 Tbh it was really to show how matched the two Pre's are, hence the rather boring outcome. Please check some of my recent videos, that properly showcase my drum studio mic setup 🙂
