Vanguard + Locomotive Giveaway!

Vanguard V13 gen2 – A Neo Classic

The V13 gen2 is our best-in-class “giant killer” LDC tube microphone that has become a favorite for a litany of Grammy winning and charting artists, engineers and producers around the world, including Gaby Moreno, Boris Milan, Will Yip, Jason Miles and many more. 6x Grammy winner Richard Furch calls the V13, “…a clear winner, Vanguard has created some magic here!”.

Built to “no-compromise” standards, the gold-sputtered dual-capsule assembly is custom-voiced via a proprietary hand-tuning process. In addition, all critical components in the signal path, including a hand-selected European vacuum tube, are cryogenically treated for consistency. Finally, the V13 gen2 is subjected to our rigorous quality assurance protocol.

Every Vanguard V13 gen2  is built, tested, inspected and certified, with love, in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.

Locomotive WT-COMP – Give your tracks some heft.

Locomotive Audio’s WT-Comp compressor is a single-channel tube-based compressor elegantly designed to add weight, harmonics and the euphonic sound of soft-knee vari-mu compression. The Weight Tank Compressor will put a stamp on any material run through its circuitry. That sweet compression paired with thick, distinct, and colorful harmonic saturation, makes the Weight Tank Compressor unique. The WT-Comp’s amazingly rich tone is achieved by utilizing 6BC8 and 12AU7 tubes, as well as all-steel input, interstage and output transformers. Btw, all three of the transformers in the WT-Comp are wound in-house!

Made in the U.S.A, the Locomotive Audio WT-Comp sports a lifetime warranty!

Time to up your mic locker AND studio hardware game! But you can’t win if you don’t enter!

Winner will be announced on 18 May, 2026.
