Hi,
Bought this Gates preamp on scaryBay recently. The label says it's a Model 3638. It uses a UTC A-10 ;D, a Triad R-3A power transformer, and the following tubes: 6J7,6SN7,6SJ7, 6X5.
I powered it up (scary) and plugged in an RCA BK-5B ribbon mic, and it sounds pretty damn good. A little hum, but really not bad at all, lots of gain, and, i think, really nice sound (not good at describing these things). I feel like it has alot of potential to be awesome.
Is anyone familiar with this thing?
Anyone have a schematic I could bum? ;D
Any help/opinions/flames would be most appreciated.
