Nickel input with iron output on an AKG C 414 TLII was my fave on vocal tracks, lending the perfect balance of size and definition. Iron in and out sounded a tad less defined. Nickel in and out gave the most realistic — albeit more clinical — sound.

Thumbs Up

The Juggernaut is pricey, but this is no one-trick pony. Loading a Revolver with two modules using different output transformers provides tones ranging from sweet purity to velvety saturation. Thoughtful features and ergonomics make the Juggernaut a joy to use. Any studio would benefit from having a Juggernaut or two, but the preamp's sonic versatility makes it a serious contender for anyone looking for one preamp that does it all. Considering that you can also install another company's Series 500-style modules in the companion Revolver rack, there's no doubt this is one great product.
