Myasnikov preamps - pulled the trigger

[Kapo_Polenton]

I know there have been a few small threads started on these and the consensus was that they were buzzy or a rip off but this guy does some cool preamps and after listening to the Superlead, I said screw it and ordered one. I have one incoming from mother Russia at some point. I could have gone Synergy module in my Lynch Box but decided what the hell, the clips of the Superlead seemed to capture that glassy crunch and thick lead more than the clips of the Soldano module that are on youtube. My plan is to use it with 6L6 in my Lynch box and through the loop so it should in theory give me a SLO-ish tone/feel on a mega budget.

Anybody else on here own any of his stuff?

Never heard of them actually... Interested to hear your thoughts when yours arrives.

A bit fuzzy in this clip but the regular disclaimers apply on mic placement and power amp ( in this case I think it is an Eleven rack power amp so digital) etc.... I liked how it sounds top end clear and juicy in the mids. Kind of on the brink of explosion which is the same thing I hear when people open up their Soldano SLO's or HotRod 25. I always dug the tone on the Great White albums and to my knowledge that is SLO. Gain set a little lower but nice and crunchy and fat in the mids.

Sounds pretty cool in that clip, haven't heard of them either but looking them up now!

Alright, my preamp is incoming. Was sent the Russian postal service packing slip this morning. So either it disappears somewhere in the Russian postal system (Very possible..this is Russia after all) or it makes it here sometime in the next two weeks...or month lol Will post some clips through my rig when IF I get her!

I have gotten stuff faster sent from overseas sometimes than within the USA so you never know, it's customs that might be an issue. I find the Russian people to be pretty much like us anymore since the fall of the old soviet union. I hope the preamp is as nice as it looks and does what you want.

Nice, I've been eyeballing these preamps for a while but never got the guts to give it a try..! I'm very curious to hear what it sounds like! Hey there is some 400$ overdrive pedals on the market that sucks major time, so how could it be worst + you don't get many amps on the market for this price besides a cheap Bugera or Peavey xxx... I'm sure you cant go completely wrong with it. It looks like he uses good quality components. Don't know about these transformers quality and the whole design. Good luck, I hope you did the right thing! Keep us posted!! Cheers

Honestly, no regrets. It sounds awesome. Considering soldano has a reissue GTO pedal on the market right now that is limited run and worth over 400$, it is a no brainer. Preamp is going to beat the pedal most of the time in my opinion.If people want to support Soldano that is one thing but if you want SLO at a cheaper price in rack format, these are great.

I can't take credit for that.. it was on youtube but I am almost setup again so maybe I can crank out some tonez soon! (minus the great playing)

just make sure that they aren't tied to the Russian government. They could be sending your riffs back to the Kremlin!

On a more serious note, their stuff sounds good to me. I remember that lots of folks (maybe here) critiqued their BE type amp. I thought it sounded good. Someone could now do a head-to-head between it and the Synergy product.

Would you by any chance be able to do a small video of your super lead?!
