Why We Love This Product!

Vintage Sound with Modern Options!

Looking for the perfect blend of Space Age tone with Computer Age controls? You found it! The brilliantly simple yet deceptively versatile Lindell 18XS channel strip is just what you need to record with any microphone or liven up and any track. Heck, it does an amazing job of gussying up bass and guitar as well. In fact, with up to 65dB of gain, you can even get great sound out of your low-output ribbon microphones with your 18XS channel strip.

As cool as the preamp is, the real star of the show is the 18XS channel strip's real claim to fame is the Pultec-style passive equalizer. This EQ isn't like your ordinary parametric EQ. It gives you a comprehensive low-frequency band and then two high-frequency bands, one for boosting and one for cutting. That lets you boost one peak while leveling off the rest, giving you both variable bandwidth and resonance. Lost? Don't worry. The main idea is that you can combine these EQ bands in creative ways to make your sound pop. And if you go too far, just blend in some of the dry preamp sound, via the mix knob, and you're golden. Good deal, huh? Get your 18XS channel strip by Lindell from GearNuts.com!

Send us your love letter

Darryl, your note of thanks arrived like a gentle wind blowing across the surface of a still pond on a crisp fall morning, stirring the embers of a dwindled campfire encircled by the tents of campers awakening to the sight of a beautiful dawn.
