The 1290 is basically the same circuit path as the 1073 when the EQ is not selected. So, what folk think a 1272 sounds like may not be what a 1272 really sounds like. because they didn't use it as a mic pre, except for talkback mic amps on consoles and even then they weren't wired the same way as the cloners. which isn't the same as Neve would do it. you are listening to an OEM company's interpretation of how to wire a Neve module. ![]() In each case you are NOT listening to a 1272. Now, the world and his wife make knock offs of a 1272, or they use authentic 1272's and modify them. that role was reserved for the 1290 which is a 5.25" high microphone amplifier. It's a drop in module used as a bus amplifier in vintage Neve consoles. The problem is that a 1272 is just a line amplifier with approx 39dB basic gain. I can see that companies like Vintech offer replicas of both versions. What is the difference between those two preamps? Do they sound different?
