lawriemacmillan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Aguilar's classic original design which put them on the map. Extremely versatile and musical preamp, which has been part of my high headroom rig for years. The DB 680 has two fully parametric EQs, (not semi-parametric), for complete tone shaping possibilities, a tube driven resonance circuit, tube effects loop, and variable balanced outputs. For the road, there’s a great sounding crossover, -40 pre and post-eq outputs for the mixing console and footswitchable (foot switch not supplied) inputs and master mute (leaves tuner input on for silent tuning). The chassis of the DB 680 is steel, and can withstand the bumps and grinds of a tour. Most importantly, the ten tube stages make for a sweet, warm tone and smooth feel beyond compare! The manual can be found on Aguilar's website: . Features: Made in NYC, NY, USA All measurements taken with a line voltage of 120 VAC. All voltages are RMS. All noise measurements are unweighted. Tube complement: Five total; two 12AX7A/7025 high-mu twin triodes and three 12AU7 medium-mu twin triodes Input Impedance: 1 M ohm (passive mode) 56 K ohm (active mode) Output impedance: Normal output = 1K ohm. Balanced output = 600 ohm Crossover outputs = 75 ohm Signal to noise ratio: -80 db Power requirement: 240 VAC/50-60 Hz. Rack size: 2 spaces Weight: 17 lbs (7.7kg) Case not included in the sale. Power Amp no longer available. Please message me to discuss postal options within the UK. Edited March 12 by lawriemacmillan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss that thing! Good to hear from you! The Hellborg is going along with the DB680. I've been looking out for the Hellborg preamp for a while now without success, and the whole rig will be funding something else 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
