PreSonus was kind enough to let me borrow the prototype of the ADL600 for the recording of Sonny Landreth's Grant Street album. I was so blown away by the sound - big, three-dimensional "vintage" tube flavor, but with an incredibly open top end and gobs of headroom - that I immediately got on the list to get one of the first production units.

I bought an ADL 600 primarily for recording kick and snare, but I've found after using them for overheads I need another. This pre is amazing - warm, lush sound on the bottom end but unlike many other tube pres the top is very open with much clarity. While I have several other high-end mic pres, the PreSonus ADL 600 has become my "go-to" pre for both acoustic and electric guitars as well as vocals. On kick and snare, there is a natural compression from the tubes that just sounds huge! Needless to say, I love this pre!
Talk about a "wow" effect!

The first time I heard this thing in action was as an intern working on a major project. We flipped the switch on this thing during the mixing process and immediately patched it into the majority of t ... read more [+]he mixes for that album. This thing does wonders for vocals, bringing clarity and warmth, and it even adds a little spice to mixes when you run your two-track through it. A must have. close [-]

I recently got the ADL-600 last week Friday (11 July, 2008) and I must say that I really love the "warmth, clarity & full-sound" that this preamp is able to provide. Using it with Blue Bluebird & CA ... read more [+]D Trion mics & I love the clarity of this preamp (Used Presonus BlueTube, Art's Gold MPA, Focusrite VM Pro, Avalon 737sp & UA LA-3A) & IMHO it beats them all (not sure if that's correct, but it gives me what I need).
I had looked & researched this preamp since 2005 & kept going back & forth between this & the Liquid Channel (Thanks for being out of stock, still going to add).
Bottom-line: This is not a "budget/semi-pro" preamp, this is a professional preamp that will add to your arsenal, but yet & still you have to develop a ear in all that you do. close [-]

To state things simply.... this pre amp is stunning. The sound is alway rich and "creamy". Thank you Mike Arango of Sweetwater for giving us the scoop about this wonderful piece!
