CYCLOPS audio
WELCOME, MY CYCLOPTIC COLLEAGUES.
FEBRUARY 2026 UPDATE:
Happy Winter to all of my Cycloptic Colleagues!
I am currently rolling through my backlog of PM1000 orders and preparing a number of new offerings. Sign up for the newsletter (at the bottom of the page) as they will start flying soon.
Production has begun on several large fleets of PM1000 “High-Gain” units, as well as the long-awaited return of the LOMO Germanium. If you’d like to pre-order a High-Gain, reach out to me direct: they are already being snatched up.
LOMO units will be available in very scarce numbers but should be arriving by late March. Reach out now to be put on the shortlist. These are the very last ones with original Soviet LOMO preamp cards, so I will not be able to hold onto these for long.
For up-to-date info on my PM1000’s with EQ - and to check out Taylor Rigg’s killer new demo - head over to the PM1000 EQ page.
Stay toasty my Cycloptic ones!

TESTIMONIALS
-
"Incredible! Every artist has said this is the best their vocal has ever sounded. (PM1000 w/ EQ)"
- Nathan P.
-
"Saturation knob rules. These things rule. (PM1000 w/ EQ)"
C. Short
-
"I fired up the 2-channel on drums with some 87 clones in the Glyn Johns positions with no compression and it really sounds great! Thanks much!" (PM1000 w/ EQ)"
- Stephen M.
-
"I had my Kemper up for sale, then I plugged in into a Phil Special (with custom Frost transformer output switch) … Kemper is no longer for sale. Racked PM1000 put life into the Kemper where I may consider changing my live rig." (PM1000 w/ EQ)"
- Andrew K.
-
"GODDD - this thing whips. " (PM1000 w/ EQ)"
- R. Johnson
-
"The PM1000 is a total work horse. Pretty much all snare mic / bass amp / bass di is taken care of by it. It is a real attention grabber at the studio." (PM1000 w/ EQ)"
- Graham T.
-
"This pre sounds "beefy" (if that's a word hah) to me. I also tried it as a bass di and it has a really nice saturated tone to the bass. I have a feeling this will never leave my rack and will always be apart of my recording process." (PM1000 HIGH-GAIN)"
