I am coming out with a new preamp in the next 4 weeks it will be the same size as the ugly but it will have up to 40 db of gain and a single 6 position gain switch on and off with be via the mic input when a mic is plugged in it will be on. I have secured some very tiny knobs for the gain control. It will have the same exact functionality as my 9200 preamp but the same size as the ugly. It will not have a HPF. I am going to sell this for $179.99 there will be no tools needed to adjust gain in the field.

Now that is really interesting, look forward to seeing this!

Right on!

Any chance to make the 6-position switch go:
1) Off
2) 0 dB
3) 10 dB
4) 20 dB
5) 30 dB
6) 40 dB

The off position really comes in handy for some pre-wired setups which otherwise require removing the battery.

I can make it do anything I want. its just a matter of finding the right value metal film resistor.

Any eta on when the new preamp will be out? I'm just getting into taping and thought it may be more preferable for me then the 9200. Is there any cost in sound quality compared to the 9200 like in the pots or opamp?

^^^ If you need it with any sort of quickness, I would explore other options.  Chris posted on April 20th about this new pre, and said it would be available in four weeks.  I haven't seen anything to indicate it is now shipping, more than two months later...

Hmmmm.
Do you have a thread introducing/dedicated to this pre yet?

hahaha never happen, PHiSH is waaaaayyyy better the WSP

They both ain't got nothing on MMW... Money spent wisely if you ask me...


FYI, it is a kick ass recording of a bunch of pretend-a-hippies talking.

I would also welcome an introduction thread for this new Church pre-amp.  I am very interested in the device, but would like to see a photo and read the final specs before I lay my money down.

I am happy to see everyone is so excited about my new preamp it's just a shrunken down 9200 :) I ordered the new input jacks for it
today so when you plug in the input jack you turn on the preamp. I will try and take a picture this week.
