Farview Recording - SC-1 Mic Preamps on Everything
Special thanks to Jason Walsh of Farview Recording studios for providing these audio samples!
Note: This is an UNMASTERED mix recording created by Jason Walsh of Farview Recording Studios. SC-1 preamps was used on everything... drums, ryhthm and lead guitars, and bass.
In Jason's own words: "The guitar sounds I use throw off a ton of low end, the bass was recorded hrough an Ampeg SVT set at war volume, my drums are giant heavy metal drums from the 80's...there is some low end going on. The cool thing about your preamps is that they capture that low end without pooping out. The bass was both DI and mic'd cab. The guitars were double mic'd. A 57 and a ribbon for the rhythms, and a 57 and 421 for the lead. I like these things for guitar better than my Amek 9098 preamps that have been my go-to's."
The kick was recorded with a AKG D-112 inside and a Shure Beta 52 in the vent hole.
The snare was recorded with a Shure SM57 on top and an Octava MK-012 on the bottom.
The toms were recorded through Sennheiser E504's.
The overheads are Shure SM81's in an XY pattern.
The bass was run through a Radial J48 active DI and an Ampeg SVT Classic miced with an Audio Technica 4033.
The rhythm guitars were a PRS Mc Carty with stock humbuckers into a Bogner Ecstasy 101 b fitted with EL34's and a Marshall cabinet mic'd with a Shure SM-57 and a Cascade Fathead II ribbon mic.
The lead was a PRS Mc Carty with soapbar pickups through the same amp and cabinet mic'd with a Shure SM-57 and a Sennheiser MD421.
I recently purchased a 2448 power supply kit with transformer. I would just like to thank you for making such a nice kit available to the DIY community. It worked out perfect for my project. The quality of the kit was top notch and it was super easy to build. I will be sure to purchase my power supply needs from you in the future. When I have enough cash I hope to try out one of your preamps as well. Thanks again. Brian T. - USA
I bought your sc1 mk2 preamps months ago. Have only opened this to set up and assemble it......amazing wont describe the sound quality, my friend...its actually awesome sounding preamp...I am more than impressed ..I have a range of new and old preamps also have many emulation preamps...but none was sweet as this pre. Best money invested. - M.Nambi, Ireland
The SC-1 pre is awesome. It is so good, no noise, very clear, nice dynamics and all that without a traffo. I'm very happy and i will recommend that unit to anyone who is serious. You have sonic perfect mic pre amps, it knocks the others off the shelf, and leaves them running a close second, but in very many cases they're two laps behind you. This is the best money I've spent this year. Thank you. Great product. - Warren, Spain
Got the preamp in and have been playing around with it. It sounds great! A captured spectrum analysis confirmed all the reviews I read about its low end and clarity, but actually hearing it was something totally different! You weren't kidding about it's beefiness, damn. After comparing it to my other preamps, the highs are so much smoother, the low end is much tighter, and the overall balance and clarity is just amazing. Thank you for a great product! - Jim Wheeler, USA
Man, am I impressed by your kits!! Fell in love with the X-12 at my first listen.. Warm, big, punchy... Im glad you guys are out there!! Keep up the good work!! - Fredrik L, Sweden
