Great River MP-2NV

Modernizing Vintage Sound

The MP-2NV is a Great River Electronics preamplifier that takes the classic circuitry and vintage sound of the 1073 module to a new level of modern sonic fidelity. Accuracy, transparency, and vintage ‘tuning’ amplify this design goal. The circuitry allows for brilliant transformer saturation or the soft distortions of a single ended amplifier. Extreme pushing of the unit will augment the sound of electric guitars, sound modules, and drums to add vitality, presence, and real punch.
