Item works beautifully, is in very good cosmetic condition, minus some minimal rack rash (see photos), and includes an off-brand power supply that works as good as the original. I’ve used this on many recordings in a variety of applications and settings with different mics and instruments and it has served me well.

Meet the Black Lion Audio B173 — the most portable 1073 British-sound around! The B173 uses the same Cinemag input and output transformers as our B173 Quad for a whopping 70dB of gain. A front panel D.I. delivers a harmonically rich tone to guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, and stepped input gain and variable output attenuation allow for perfect control over transformer saturation.
