ReviewsIncredible bargain
by Tracy Towns from Peoria, IL
I've been using this for over a year now and it has been excellent. I use it with an AT 2035 mic and get very loud and clear sound quality. I have a C- Com opti compressor hooked to the insert and i... read more [+]t makes a fantastic and inexpensive vocal channel plugged into my audio interface for my DAW. The saturation knob lets you add a little tube character and I like the sound far better than the Tube MP Studio I was using before. For the price you can't beat it. close [-]

I've used this preamp with condenser and dynamic mics and pickups from acoustic guitars. It works great and is a tremendous value.

by Chris Parkes from Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
For the price it's astonishing. The specs are a bit misleading saying that it's a tube preamp, because it's not. It's actually a transistor preamp with a 12AX7 tube circuit added to dial in even har... read more [+]monic distortion (saturation). That is actually better, because it gives you even more options. I use it with a Rode NTV (also tube), Behringer 1204Pro (just to route it), M-Audio 1010, and Vegas 6.0. If you need your vocals to shine, have more warmth, or just sound like they were recorded in a pro studio...this is it! close [-]

by William Jones from Jasper, Georgia
I had heard great things about this unit and so far it lives up to all the hype. I've recorded great sounding vocals and guitar with it. It's definitely a step up from the Tube MP. It warms up your so... read more [+]und big time. But it does it transparently! I recommend it highly. close [-]

by Big Jinx from Bremerton, Wa USA
This thing makes vocals sound great!! Using it with AT3035 for project studio and never fails to bring vocals to the front of all my mixes. The Limit and Enhance buttons have become my best friends ... read more [+]due to the genre of music that I produce and record. Plenty of gain and a digital out in this unit make for a very good buy for those just starting out. Thought of replacing tube, but 12XA7 sounds perfect for now. close [-]
