No Neve actually.
The Neve looking thing is a Phoenix DRS-1R.
It is sort of Neve like, but I actually prefer them to 1073's, bigger bottom end- great for bass and kick drum.

The ViPre is amazing, I've had that here since 2004.

Phoenix kit is the biz, ex API engineers, I have their N16 summing mixer in my home studio rack.

its hiding behind the S3 here.

More to the point, Fractal and Kemper?

Yup, I do a fair bit of session work on bass and guitar and it is good to have options.

Have the Helix floorboard and Fractal FX8 also.

Really like the Kemper, never used the Fractal though, don’t play guitar, spent a long time with the Bass Pod XT Pro rack, still have the bean...

My guitarist buddy has the Helix, I might grab the rack version at some point, but I’m not doing a whole lot of playing currently, lots of mixing and restoration.

I sold the 1144 and just kept the 1140

I followed your suggestion and now I am an owner of an 1140. Thank you for your advice.

The cost was £140 - that was slightly funny.

Wow! Absolute bargain 😮

I did some search and the HS (high speed) model uses faster slew rate opamps compared to that basic model. TL074 is pretty basic and cheap quad opamp, so upgrading them might change the behavior a bit. May belong to "nearly-audible-and-hard-to-hear" area but does not cost so much. Let's see...
