Joe Chiccarelli Producer, engineer, mixer
I'm impressed with the V67. We are using it for a lot of the lead vocals on Christina Perri's album. We go back and forth between the V67 and a vintage U67 from Sunset Sound. It truly lives in the same family as the original. Certainly a more open, hi-fi modern version of the tube.
