Introduction-

We are excited to introduce Rev 8 of our famous StereoVibe Preamp. Yes, this Famous pre-amp has been around for 15 years!! It is also the same pre-amp we use on our Vintage Vibe pianos. Imagine turning your Rhodes Stage MK1 piano into a sonically hot recording machine. That's the promise of the StereoVibe! We guarantee your satisfaction!!

About the StereoVibe-

In our newest revision of this innovative preamp, Vintage Vibe, brings Retro Rhodes replacement preamps into the modern age by eliminating the need for continuous AC. We designed our StereoVibe around the ever-popular lithium battery power; lithium power is the way of the future, and as a company, we need to be a part of that wave. Welcome to the future!

Improved Design-

Along with a re-imagined power supply, we improved our Stereo Tremolo by designing the rise and fall time of the waveform to closely mimic the 1970s incandescent light bulb found in the desirable Peterson model.

We didn't stop there. We added an extra bump in the mid-EQ curve that helps delicately and naturally accentuate without piercing.

Attributes-

The genius of this new preamp is that it is self-contained, with no modifications needed. It comes with an onboard Stereo headphone jack, a mono effects loop, an LED battery meter, and a push-button stereo tremolo with indicator light. USB-C power, click on and off volume knob.

Self contained and complete-

The preamp comes complete on its own Rhodes MK1 replica name rail, ready to drop in and play as soon as you get it.

No modifications, no cheek block power supply, no wires dangling from your piano, Just drop in and play.

Available for Rhodes MKI 73 and 88 note pianos

The icing on the cake

At the moment - I've only tested it. As I need to fix a couple of bridle straps. (So I'll send a video later)

But this takes a Rhodes Stake Mk1 to the next level.
The tone from the preamp is beautiful - and doesn't remove any of the top end. (Actually can hear a lot more of the articulation in the signal now)

The tremolo is just gorgeous - and while I miss my old Leslie -- this has a character of it's own.

Game changer

This 5-minute install completely changed my 1976 Mark I. The gain and EQ are way better, and the stereo tremolo is a game-changer. I'm also loving the ability to plug my headphones in. Excellent work, as usual.

1 note - I also got the Fender Rhodes MKI Stackers, and they don't line up very well with the controls on the new faceplate. They still work, but they're not centered.

Get it

You might as well get it. Instead of rebuilding the OG preamp on your old 73, just get this then focus on voicing it properly from the mechanical aspect. VV has all the materials you need to do that too.

Préampli au top

Le préampli à complètement changé mon Rhodes MK1, le volume sonore est boosté. l'équaliser est parfait.

Trémolo au top en stéréo sur 2 amplis, ça sonne comme un suitcase. Franchement super
