Here's my 1290 that I built a while ago now, learnt a few things since then. (still learning)
My experience with real Neve's is limited but this pre is amazing, guitars, drums, just wish I had more. Great value when you compare price to fancy looking pre's that have heaps of advertising in mags and don't even come close to these.
Just buy some.

Barney,
if you don't mind me asking, how much gain can you take out of it?
and, is that an output knob i see next to the gain?

Not sure of the exact gain i'll let Joe or Matt answer that one. But it has heaps of gain, and tone. I use it with a shinybox ribbon and it had no probs. Drums and guitar amps are killer with these pre's. (also bass di in the right song/context)
The right knob is an output trim and also a push/pull switch. Pushed in trim setting, pulled out a full range fader, nice touch.
