SKIBBE ELECTRONICS IS PROUD TO PRESENT-the Flickinger 736-5  500 series microphone preamplifier. This module is adapted from Sly Stone’s custom Flickinger MOD-N-32 matrix console (circa 1970). Great care has been taken in creating this module to keep the original tone intact. We use  only the highest quality components for a superior build quality in the 500 series format. 

This includes:

• Original custom UTRAD/Flickinger input and output transformers

• Original 535-7 discrete op amp topology

• Hand matched and graded transistors (original T0-105, and TO-106 package styles).

• Tantalum output capacitor as original

• Machined face plate, engraved, with fluorescent red inlay (glows under black light!)

• 20db pad

• Polarity reverse (both sealed relay switched, no more crackles!)

• Phantom power switch

• Military spec knob in traditional Flickinger style

• Heavy duty pcb and chassis construction Adjustable gain from 5-60db

• Stainless steel grab handle

• Large easy to see indicator lamps for all functions

• API VPR certified

We have been using Sly’s Flickinger console for over 12 years at the KEYCLUB RECORDING CO. and absolutely love the sound of the mic pre’s. Because of  multiple requests for preamps over the years we decided to start producing these modules in the popular 500 series format. Great care has been taken to keep all of the magic Flickinger tone intact, by using original spec. quality components. Because we work in the studio every day, we realized how important it is to have gear that feels as good as it sounds. That is why we focused on creating a module that an engineer would want to reach for every time on a session. The 736-5  looks amazing, feels great to use, and above all else, sounds exactly as good as the original.
