Who here owns or has used the CP5? I only just discovered this pre recently.
This strikes me as a brilliant idea. A super clean pre you can add some color too with circuit "plugins."
I've listened to a bunch of the Colour circuits and the ones that stand out so far are the 15IPS Tape Saturation Colour module, the Colourupter Optical Disrupter which gives you some 1176 smashing by just turning a knob, and the Pentode Tube Saturation Colour mkII adds some nice girth too.
A lot of them are one-time gimmicky plugs like AM radio sounds or weird distortions that you might use once in a special case, but not something you can use every day.
The samples I heard on their site sounded convincing and killer but I wonder how they got those samples. I asked them in fact.
I'm assuming they used the CP5 to track all of the audio samples with the color disengaged, and they're running the pre-recorded audio samples through their "Colour 500-Series Palette mkII" unit with the various Colour modules installed.
Anyway, if these things really sound as good as the videos I'm wondering why this isn't the best and most versatile preamp on the planet...
