Check out the Hammock Hill PreQ22: hammockhillstudio.com/audio-tools/preq22

Thanks to Johnny Beavers for playing on this one: instagram.com/johnnybeavers

In this video, I take a deep dive into the Hammock Hill Audio PreQ22, a hand-built 500-series mic preamp that’s has quickly become my favorite preamp to record through in my home studio. We’ll explore how it performs on acoustic, electric guitar, rubber bridge and bass — from ultra-clean transparency to rich color and warmth.

Whether you’re chasing that subtle warmth or pushing your front end for color, the PreQ22 gives you flexible tone-shaping tools in one slot.

I've been loving the shift and the results inspire me to work harder to find great source material.
