It is analog, with a prampli transistor, an opto-compressor typical Joemeek, and a 3 band equalizer (80 Hz - 1.8 kHz - 8 kHz). The processed signal is mono, with the possibility of XLR (48V) or Jack. Each "part" possde its own switch.
The Casing is small, trs solid, and there (it seems) adapters for rack mounted.

UTILIZATION

Setting simple, one button = one function. The manual is in English, and relatively short. But invited to try, and it's essential.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the main reason for purchasing this "mini" strip ... Those looking for a prampli neutral, do not read further. There are other brands for cel.
The prampli itself does not have a lot of color. Trs is neutral, and stays clean even with a lev rglage. The knob notched to the level of input is enjoyable trs handle.
The opto-compressor really gives a touch of 70's sound. Do not try hsiter, whether on an analog synth, a drum loop, or a microphone. Opportunities rglages trs are important, and the passage of a compression lgre a monster "boooom" a kick is possible. The highlight of this unit.
The Meequalizer when it trs musical. Trs soft, warm and round. For the price, it's really gnial.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months dj. As pass an old 8-track Revox ProTools, I was looking for a small prampli, just to give a little heat my recordings. I knew those old Joemeek studio equipment, or of the tranches of Trident consoles. The small device MQ3 is still stamped "Made in England". Its production ceased there are over 3 years now dj replaced by the small ThreeQ, manufactured in China.
In my opinion much better than any prampli cheap lamp that has a tendency to saturate quickly rev ...
Great price quality ratio. If I find yet another era of Joemeek products, I would continue on this launch ...
