Dual channel replica of the iconic preamp on the AMPEX 351 Tape machine, which was instrumental in the development of rock 'n' roll and radio-ready classics.

The Warm Audio WA-2MPX is an identical copy of the renowned AMPEX 351 Tape machine's preamp, vital in developing rock 'n' roll and radio-ready classics.

The Warm Audio WA-2MPX is a dual-channel mic preamp with a true-to-original circuit architecture that precisely replicates the analogue tone of the original to give vintage warmth and colour to your performance.

The original Ampex 351 became a mainstay of top recording studios during the golden age of sellotape recording. This type of antique tube preamp was responsible for the signature sound of hit albums by Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Les Paul, and Bing Crosby. It's a sound that artists like The Arctic Monkeys and Mark Ronson seek.
