This is about a restoration project that I will now have to undertake- to what degree I'm not certain. Most folks will have no idea what we're looking at here... points to anyone that does.
In the late 70's for my day job, I designed one of the first Instrument preamplifiers that incorporated parametric EQ, a balanced line send output to send to a mixing board while playing live, and single ended and balanced outputs to drive a conventional head or power amplifiers.
It also incorporated a discrete differential FET amplifier stage with transformer that could be switched in and out with a clean by pass stage, both with their own gain controls, and could be activated on the front panel or by a basic foot switch.
This is not that... it's more like that grown up and with Star Wars technology infused...
I've been looking for one of these in good shape for some time... this one came from Europe.
Like I said, points to anyone who knows what it is and who developed it. I do, of course.
