The closest equivalent to the HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIP would be chaining a 73JR, 73EQJR, and mono Successor (a $3000 value pack in itself) with greater routing flexibility.\u003cbr\u003eThe HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIP features a new custom input transformer co-designed with Carnhill and manufactured exclusively for HA at the St Ives factory. The preamplifier also features a custom Carnhill St Ives output transformer, completing the fully discrete, Class A, 3-gain stage design. The preamplifier has 80 dB of gain, a 20 dB pad, phase inversion, and an impedance switch for 1200 or 300 ohm input.\u003cbr\u003eThe DI is also taken from the acclaimed Heritage Audio 73JR design, an all-discrete Class A JFET circuit before the microphone transformer, offering all the color and weight one could ask for.\u003cbr\u003eThe DI also includes a passive output for feeding a separate amplifier.\u003cbr\u003eThe HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIP is equipped with 3 Vinkor pot core inductors in the high-pass and mid-band filter sections. The impact is incredible with exceptionally musical extreme boosts. The mid-range is great for sculpting snare drums, kick drums, guitars, fat and punchy vocals. There's no need to be \"subtle\" as you would with most EQs: The HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIP doesn't sound phasey or lose headroom at extreme settings. The inductor-based low-pass filter, taken directly from the 73 design, allows you to control out-of-range low end without affecting the quality of the desired frequencies. The hi-shelf and low-shelf have been extended to include a bell mode, making them more versatile than ever.\u003cbr\u003eThe diode bridge bus compressor needs little introduction, as it is the same compressor found in the award-winning Heritage Audio Successor. Diode bridge compression, a 60-year-old patent, has taken on a new life with the Successor's expanded features and incredible fast attack\/release times.\u003cbr\u003eWith the HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIP, this powerful compressor is perfect for tracking, thanks to its blend control and elaborate sidechain filter, offering extensive tracking potential. The compressor section offers plenty of sidechain flexibility, with 5 frequency options and an external sidechain input. And if that's not enough, you can link the compressors of 2 HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIPs for a definitive stereo tracking solution.\u003cbr\u003eThe HERITAGE AUDIO BRITSTRIP allows for compression and equalizer routing. Pre-compression equalization makes the compression detector more sensitive to boosted frequencies and less sensitive to cut frequencies. Conversely, post-compression equalization makes the detector insensitive to equation settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMix Amp Section\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer-coupled Carnhill-based balanced inputs and outputs for added character and vintage feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e73 Class A output stages bring the desired 73 sound to your mix or drum buses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone input impedance: HI, 1200 Ohm minimum, LO, 300 Ohm minimum.
