I was expecting it to sound good, as it's a copy of the legendary Neve 1073. Even then, I was surprised by how good it actually sounds.

The WA Pre73 sounds great! Used on vocals, drums, bass and guitars so far and it has great versatility with the tone switch. I was really surprised how much better bass sounded going through it in the instrument mode. Well worth every penny!

I couldn't get any meter reading or output when using any of the 3 condenser mics i own. Worked ok with dynamic mics and line input. I sent it back.

It was used and there was a piece on the inside lose. I put it back in place. But other than that on schedule.
