General
The Drawmer 1972 two-channel microphone preamp comes furnished with filters, shape and lift functions so you can get your hands on the perfect sound for your instrument or vocals. Besides standard options such as polarity inversion and phantom power supply for condenser microphones, this Drawmer offering serves up various extras, including variable impedance for both mic preamps so you can either match or deliberately (and safely) mismatch the impedance for interesting results. Meanwhile, the low and high pass filters can be used to eliminate unwanted frequencies at the source (because seriously, who needs those frequencies above 10kHz for a bass guitar...), while the two Shape switches combine to form a four-setting tilt EQ where flipping both switches gets you the famed 'smiley' curve, resulting in boosted lows and highs. The most special function of the Drawmer 1972 however has to be the Lift function, which serves as a kind of dynamic processor that gives quieter sounds an extra gain-boost, pretty much like parallel compression.
