Discover the worst-kept secret on achieving a rich and creamy sound with the Tierra Audio Flavour Preamp, Vanilla. A delightful mid-range boost helps to create a natural and balanced sound that is perfect to adding body and fullness to a huge range of instruments such as choirs, guitars, violins, cellos, basses, ukuleles and much more. The lower gain boost, when compared to the other Flavour Preamps, helps to create a smooth and creamy sound that is not as sharp but is instead more suited to slower and mellower musical genres such as acoustic singer/songwriter styles.
Take your sound with you wherever you go thanks to the ultra-compact design that's ideal for storing in your gigbag, backpack, case, or wherever else your gear might be stored. Designed to fit even inside the back pocket of your favourite pair of jeans, the Tierra Audio Vanilla packs a huge punch in a small enclosure. The perfect choice for the modern musician, the passive design means that you won't need to power the unit with mains or with batteries, meaning you can use the Pepper on stage, in the recording studio, at home during your livestreams or even while travelling on the go!
Hand-built in Spain by expert engineers and designers, the Flavour Preamp, Vanilla is constructed with studio-grade components that provides crystal clear sound quality. Featuring an audio-optimised Lundahl input transformer, the Vanilla boasts a slow transient attack for a warm and dense sound. The transformer amplifies the signal by passing it through a copper winding around a metal core, this creates the amplification of the signal and when paired with the germanium diodes, you can expect to hear lots of musical harmonics and colour that gives the Vanilla its signature creamy sound. After being carefully constructed, each unit is calibrated before shipping to establish that the gain curves, signal to noise ratio and THD levels are up to standard, ensuring you get the best performance from your Truffle as possible.
Please note: If you want to use the Flavours Preamps with condenser microphones or with active (phantom-powered) ribbon microphones, you will have to use an external phantom power source to feed your microphone. Phantom Power will not reach the microphone with a Flavour Preamp.
