Anyone Rockin’ a Myasnikov Preamp?

Some of them sound pretty good. The thread about the Soldano X88r got me thinking about them as they make a clone/variant. The 2C+, Naked and 5150 ones peak my interest. Curious if they would tackle old school Orange or do an SVT type one.
 
i have the iic+, though ive not played it in a couple years since i got my real iic+. i should do a comparison. i been eyeing the CCV on reverb

That guy on Reverb saying he’s the U.S hookup for new ones seems to have prices that are a fair bit higher than on the actual Myasnikov site.
 
There's a guy on here that helped me build my SLO preamp.. Don't wanna throw his name out without permission, but I think he might do these.

🤷‍♂️
 
I could sell you a IIC+ Preamp designed by Dunwich Amps, built by PLX-FX for a fraction of the price of the Myasnikov.. It just sounds like shit :ROFLMAO: It's made to be the Metallica IIC+ preamp pedal with a built in EQF-2. Maybe I suck at dialing in parametric EQs. Or maybe IIC+ preamp clones suck.

I had his Savage (“Angry As Fuck”) along side the Synergy Savage and they sounded the same except the tone knobs had different frequencies and tapers. Both are awesome.

I had his IIC+ and now have the Synergy IICP but there was a gap between owning them. I think they’re similar but a bit different as the Mysanikov sounded best without a boost and I’m preferring the Synergy module with an OD808.

I wonder about his 2C+ because in my experience, a mark without an EQ can’t be set to be the same as one with the Graphic, with an outboard EQ in the loop. There’s something about that built in graphic that is singular.

Good point, I think I remember Steven Fryette explaining in a video about the Synergy IICP that the GEQ is not at the end of the circuit. I got great tones out of both iterations but boosting the Myasnikov sounded nasty whereas the Synergy was more flexible. I don’t really prefer one over the other though, they both sound great.

The Parametric EQ part of the N.E.W. TTTSNB (https://www.godcityinstruments.com/products/n-e-w-the-thing-that-should-not-be - the DIY build you have) is quite good.
I have build a TTTSNB myself, but I do not use the solid state preamp section of that build, just my own DIY MKII2C+ tube preamp and Mesa Five-band parametric EQ pedal.
You need to tweak the EQ knobs of the EQF-1 section carefully.
