The WA-MPX is an authentic reproduction of THE vintage tape machine tube preamp that started the birth of rock ‘n’ roll known for pure analog warmth, delivering an impressive 300v of raw power & 90dB of tube gain.
During the golden era of tape recording, the original 351-style tube preamp became the king of studio tech and signature sound in the signal chain of hit recordings for artists including Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Les Paul, Nat King Cole, and Roy Orbison and for producers like Steve Albini - a timeless sound that continues to be pursued by elite audio engineers today.
With premium components, true-to-original circuit design, and selectable tape saturation, the WA-MPX authentically reproduces all the analog tone of the original to bring vintage warmth & color to your sound.
The WA-MPX preamps are hand-wired with 100% discrete electronics. Each channel boasts three tubes that, with the high-gain switch engaged, bring the WA-MPX up to an incredible 90dB of gain. Each channel has custom-wound, large-core CineMag transformers on the inputs and outputs - bringing each preamp circuit to 300v.
WA-MPX pres are housed in steel chassis with a brushed aluminum faceplate, vintage-style bakelite knobs, and amber-tinted VU meters. All of these key components paired with traditional build technique deliver not only a legendary “tape-era” tube pre but one of the best values in an all-tube microphone preamp on the market today.
Following the Warm Formula of true-to-original tone driven by premium components, all WA-MPX are carefully hand-inspected & tested at Warm Audio Headquarters in Austin, Texas.

    The song in the demonstration is really good. Typically songs for gear demos are really bad or bland but this was really good

    Hello Warm Audio. What brand of "premium tubes" are used in this preamp? I suppose is not a secret?

    Hey there! All depends on what you're recording and the sound you're going for. Our 73-style preamps will give you a nice color & warmth to your sound; built with UK made transformers from Carnhill. Our WA73-EQ also has a built-in EQ to easily shape your tone right from the preamp. If you're looking for a super clean sound with minimal warmth and color from your preamp, I would check out our 12-style preamps. Adding a preamp is always a great place to start! Then jump into compression. 😉
