Converting a Neve 1272 Buss Amp for use as a mic preamp has been a controversial issue at times, but it need not be, because there is a right way to do it: following the exact Neve spec as spelled out in a 1063 schematic, except omitting the high-gain positions where the missing amplifier stage would be switched in (1063 has three, but 1272 has only two stages). Glide On Fade recognized this and hired Eisen Audio to help design a sensitivity switch kit for implementing this electronically authentic upgrade.
