The Lindell Audio 18Xs MkII is a versatile, single-channel Class A device that combines a microphone preamplifier, direct input (DI), line amplifier, and passive equaliser inspired by the classic Pultec design. It offers up to 65dB of gain, accommodating a wide range of microphones and instruments.
Key features include transformer-coupled balanced inputs and outputs, ensuring high-quality signal integrity. The high-impedance DI input is ideal for direct recording of instruments like guitars and basses. The passive equalizer section provides up to 15dB of boost, delivering smooth high-end and punchy low-end frequencies.
A useful features is the Mix knob which allows for parallel processing by blending the dry input signal with the equalised output. This feature offers enhanced flexibility in tone shaping. The 18Xs MkII also features a retro-style VU meter for precise output level monitoring and a robust 10mm aluminium chassis.
Couple of scratchy pots (output and mix knobs) but once set works without issues.
