The Archetype rack pre is now available for sale. I'm open to partial trades + cash as well.

What's the difference between the small Archetype and the full rack space unit? I see the mid frequency selector, but is there more?

I wish I could answer that question for you as I only plugged into the Archetype rack pre once just to make sure it worked. My plan was to compare the two Archetypes when I landed the rack pre but never got around to it. I'm selling all of these pres because I just don't use them.

In addition to the mid frequency selector, there are 3 tubes in the rack version:



The Archetype rack pre also includes rack case, shelf and front plate. This is exactly what it looks like: SOLD - Broughton Audio Archetype rack mount pre

So so sweet my friend!!!!

I was a previous owner of the Arch rack. It’s been a while, but I remember the rack unit having more complex mids, no background noise, more 3D feel/foundation than the current model. It’s prolly the nicest lesser colored pre’s that I have ever played. Not overly clanky or grindy, or muddy but still tons tonal range and with girth and clarity. It’s also really purdy, really well made and one (or 2) of a kind. It lives up to its name.
