Though I've only really used BAE units in the past, this is the ticket for that sound. Has the right transformers. I run line level signals back out to it from my DAW to get some saturation and warmth into the tracks. I use it mostly for kick, snare, guitars. Oh yeah! the DI sounds great aswell! especially on bass. The tone button adds instant excitement to your track. Can't go wrong with this unit!

I used this two way mainly on my mix buss chain if I'm not using it to record. The more hardware transformers you have on your mix the more that warm Analog sound you will have.

I don't think I can express just how much I love these units. I've got racks full of these WA273's & 273EQ's that sit right alongside of my original Neve units. Having a commercial studio I was weary of most clone preamps for a long, long time. It was only after visiting another commercial studio in Nashville 2-3 years ago that had Warm Audio's 73 variants intermixed with their original Neve preamps that my mind was opened up to how amazing these actually are. For me these preamps are the instant better maker for any source, but some may think they're more subtle than that. However when you start getting larger and larger track counts on your recordings these start making your stereo mix night and day better. If you have 10-16 drum mics running through these you're getting a world class sound that no one can deny. Even just running a Stereo drum track through one of these units will up your studio game by a large margin. Now I don't believe in "They're good for the price" anymore. These are great because they're great, and the price-point is an extreme bonus. I'm proud to represent Warm Audio preamps in my studio. I just bought more WA preamps earlier today, and God willing I'll buy many more in the future.

This preamp has a warm clear sound. It improved my recording to a Pro level. The Wa273 made my vocals easier to mix and gave them a nice sheen. Don't hesitate get one asap.

I've been using this preamp for about 4 months, I've recorded vocals, bass, acoustic guitars, etc., and it seems to be the right tool no matter what you put on it. I work with a lot of metal bands and driving this thing when recording metal screams is the greatest saturation I've heard in a preamp!
