From YTG: We used these preamps in our LA home studio while we were writing and making demos for our second record, Mind over Matter. We had both Jake and Eric’s guitars, Sameer’s Vox, and bass DI going through these preamps. These preamps are modeled after the API 312A style microphone preamps.

Featured in this December 16, 2010 Instagram post. It is used live for effected vocals, as stated by monitor engineer Ricky Leon in this March 1, 2014 Mix Online article about the Mind Over Matter Tour.

“Sameer Gadhia’s main vocal mic is the Shure KSM9 HS, and for his effects vocal he uses the Shure 55s, which goes through a TC Helicon voice processor. He can get really creative with the setting, so I tend to set a hard compression on this line. He has great vocal range so I also use a comp along with a limiter.”

A nickel finish version was used for vocals on the Mirror Master Tour, as is visible in this May 21, 2019 Instagram post by Young the Giant and this July 11 Instagram post by Young the Giant.

A KSM8/N was used for vocals on the Home of the Strange Tour, as is visible in this September 23, 2016 photo of Gadhia at Detroit, MI's The Fillmore.

Used for limiting vocals on the Home of the Strange Tour, as stated by monitor engineer Ricky Leon in this March 23, 2017 ProSoundWeb interview.

For example, he applies light, 3:1 compression via the S6L on Gadhia’s vocal, with Bomb Factory LA2A emulation for limiting and a SansAmp plugin for some “crunchy attitude” on a couple of songs.

Used on "Darkest Shade of Blue", as mentioned by the owner of the 1073LB, bandmate Eric Cannata, in this sold Reverb.com listing.

From YTG: This was the first pre-amp I bought. It has a round, and warm tonality and I would use it for everything from vocals to bass. We recorded many demos through this pre, and also the final vocals on Darkest Shade of Blue off our last album Mirror Master, as well as the lead charango part in Superposition (also off Mirror Master)!
