Neve 1272

The Neve 1272 is a line amp/summing buss amp made between 1970-76 by Neve. Vintech Audio produced a replica of the Neve 1272 and while it is not exactly the same as the originial Neve, they do run considerably less expensive and offer a decent value for the quality.

The Neve 1272 was never designed to be used a pre mic, however, it was discovered that it could be used as one, since all of the parts necessary where there to rewire it to be used as one. It is not uncommon when looking for an original Neve 1272 to stumble across one that has been rewired to be used as a pre mic or has had various features added and changed to it. It is thought that by rewiring the Neve 1272 you can have the same effects as the Neve 1073 when done properly - however the biggest difference is the Neve 1073 has an additional amp card that can help if the user is seeking to get more than 50 db of gain. Some have also built custom kits that provide a switch so you can change from the Neve 1272 as a pre amp to the pre mic capabilities if desired.
