“The Neve 1073 is considered by many to be one of the most revered Mic Pre/EQ’s ever created,” says Vintage King owner and Director of Business Development Andrew Nehra. “The 1073, which Vintage King exclusively carries in the United States, normally retails at over $3,000. This giveaway was an opportunity to educate those who have never heard of a Neve 1073 and provide a chance for someone to own the piece of iconic gear that, up until now, might have just been on their wish-list. Vintage King’s philosophy has always been to treat every customer exactly how we want to be treated – and what musician or engineer wouldn’t want the chance to own such a classically designed, world-class piece of gear?”

Sweepstakes winner Brandon Whitesell is a musician with a home recording studio in Raleigh, NC. Whitesell plays keyboards (and occasionally guitar) in rock band The Magic Babies. He has worked on a number of recording projects including his own band, his duo Onlooker and Poles Apart, a project completed entirely as a file-swap between Whitesell and graphic designer and musician Roy Brooks.
