The x731 (Melcor 1731) and x18 (Dean Jensen's 918) Op Amps saturate a bit differently. The 1731 breaks up faster and has more color when pushed. The 918 is fairly linear/clean with a smidge of character and does not break-up/saturate as quickly. The 100% steel output transformer colors the signal more than the 50% nickel transformer when pushed. However, both are designed to impart character. The 50% nickel transformer will impart less character and provide greater high and low frequencies. For an ultra clean, character-lacking tone, try the x18 while bypassing the output transformers completely.
Have no fear of hurting the Beast, you can push it very hard into full-on distortions if you wish, and these can sound quite nice on electric guitar, bass or anything else that likes some nice grit.
When hand building mic pres I learned a bit about the "subtle" differences component choices can make. A little change here, and another there often times became a huge deal in a finished mix, but often times is not very noticeable at first take. The different component options in the TB12 are subtle, but when driven into saturation are noticeable and can make a big difference to the way your final mix will sound.
Home-based musicians and professional studios alike will find the Tone Beast to be an extremely powerful and fully professional piece of gear that is capable of warming and shaping signals/mixes in a way that is very pleasing to the ear.

The X-18 with the Vintage Capacitors and steel Transformer was my favorite.
+Jason McCulloch Nice!
Thank you for going through all the settings and taking the time wow this preamps so impressive I love the vintage 🔥
Is it just me or does stereo center move when switched between x731 and x18? I guess there's at least a 3db difference between the circuits on one amp vs the other one at least in this demo.
The more Vintage the more I like it. I'd like like one with just the Vintage options.
Woah! This is incredible!!
Mix sounds kind of wooly
great great great test video. what soundcard are you guys using for sendout/return the TB12 unit?
Features found on the Fairchild, interesting.
I'd like one in stereo for the same price. :p
It is not?
Great demo of this product. What song is that? it's great
+Skylar Carlson Thanks Skylar! It's Me Oh My by the band Hustle Souls from Asheville, NC.
I'm sorry but you would be a fool to buy any other preamp at this price, its got everything I want. pairs realllly good with my Sontronics Mercury Valve mic, and My Kemper profiler run though this just makes it majic happen. and my Bass and my Acc an my synth and and and and. the list goes on. well done warm audio.
i just wish you didnt play that song as your only choice!!! Aaargggh. i just. bought another for mixdowns as welll. but that song!!!! help me/-);$&
Annoying isn’t it ?
I agree, it’s dogshit and repeated over and over “Owwn muyyy! yer der apple hanging frum der devils treee!” F***ing hillbilly…
Just bought one. Quality piece for sure. By the way, what's that white EQ in your rack @ 1:33? Thanks.
Looks like a Seventh Circle Audio CH01 chassis full of preamps.
@@igloo0213 your are right on point. Thx.
This or the ISA One for SM7B? :)
(VO work and rock/metal vocals)
Are those 30 bucks monoprice headphones you are tracking with?

Great video. Question: this video is about treating a stereo mix with the TB12. As per my understanding it is a single channel preamp. So have you been using two TB12's for this demo or how does this work?
+Steve Taggs Yes the TB12 is a single channel. Ryan ran the mix through a pair of TB12s to color the mix using the line input. You can also run the left channel through first, then the right channel on a second pass so that the same settings on a single TB12 are coloring both channels. This is kind of a pain, which is why two TB12s are much easier.
I never thought about that. I just got bought mine today. I guess Ill be doing that method for a month or so haha.
Went 3d on the Pushed Hard x731 Vintage & Steel
Those levels look too hot!
What fukkn song is that?? That damn song is amazing 🔥🔥 I'm having the hardest time buying this or the Avalon v5 .. all I want to do is get a clean loud sound with a possiblity of a tiny bit of color with a Shure ksm44 and tlm 102. Somebody let me know asafp!!!
What you end up buying?
@@rylandweet7750 I got a grace m101 with a antelope discreet 4, and a Shure ksm44
@@gumaryae nice I was checking out the antelopes not sure if I want one or the new apogee duet 2 ,
Hey so the ksm44 is good for rap? I like to squash my vocals ALOT but I’m having troubles finding a really good mic that’s not all sibilant and harsh, I have the AT4050 right now and it’s sorta harsh
@@gumaryae also someone has a grace 101 for sale near by for 500 bucks was debating on grabbing or grabbing a focusrite isa one I’m not sure which one would be better , any experience between the both?
@@rylandweet7750 it's great but I would recommend the tlm 102 in response to what you just said about how you mix vocals. Either that or the tlm 103 and subtract a little bit of highs where the air is. But the ksm is also "good enough" to squash vocals.
i love how i can make great music with gears that i pay under $700...i have W.A...eq ,wa76 and tonebeast. guess im spoil...
+RODNEY AUGUSTIN Thank you, we're glad to be apart of great music!
@@WarmAudioOfficial You mean, "a part" ? :)
Great work anyway!
