About 15 years ago, Heritage Audio set out to recreate a classic 73‑style mic preamp with better materials and no cost‑cutting. Their 500‑series units (e.g., 73 JR/73 JR II) became an industry standard, widely used in pro studios. The new plugin faithfully models this design: all‑discrete Class‑A circuitry, custom Carnhill input/output transformers, and a discrete Class‑A high‑pass filter to tighten lows without affecting desired frequencies. The only new feature is a blend knob for parallel gain staging, letting you push saturation hard while keeping clarity. As a plugin, you can run unlimited instances to build your own vintage mixer sound. It offers up to 80 dB gain in 5 dB steps, plus separate input/output controls to drive the preamp for color without overloading the output. 25% off until Jul 26 https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/74-Preamp/14618-73-JR-Preamp#a_aid=5fb6d6ac1a235
