This is designed and built absolutely in the spirit of the original vintage units - no surface mount components or tone sapping DSP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is this version different to the Prototypes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have kept the industrial\/functional aesthetic of the prototypes with a raw casing and just the footswitch, light and knob on the top. We continually seek to improve\/refine these units as we build them, but sonically the circuit is unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore information:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit features a balanced input via combined TRS\/XLR socket, vintage germanium transistor circuitry with original Grampian specification Mic transformer, overload lamp, input impedance switch, output 3-way attenuator switch and on\/off toggle footswitch. Staying true to the original design, the output is unbalanced on a ¼ inch jack socket and is out of phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with our original 636s, we have put tonal considerations ahead of all else. \u003cspan\u003eI was originally sceptical that we'd see a real benefit in using germanium transistors\u003c\/span\u003e in the buffer section: all our original prototypes had used silicon and sounded great. However Dr Huw insisted that we build an all germanium version for comparison which proceeded to blow all the earlier versions out of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's more info on the build including photos and demos \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Soundgas Type 636P Information\" href=\"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/blog\/incoming-the-soundgas-type-636p-its-not-a-pedal\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/blogs\/blog\/soundgas-type-636-preamp-series-update-complete-guide-to-design-build-and-availability\" title=\"Blog Soundgas Type 636 by Tony Miln\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSoundgas Type 636 Preamp Update: Complete Guide to Design, Build, and Availability\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Soundgas Type 636P manual\" href=\"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/blogs\/resources\/soundgas-type-636p-manual\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSoundgas Type 636P Manual PDF - Download here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich Soundgas Type 636 should I buy?
