It is a preamp with a compressor and an equalizer. Quite full for the price (between 200 and 300 euros, it depends where you buy it!)
Missing as usual in this product range a button on / off, unfortunately. For the rest it is really complete. And gives a clear impression of solidity, quality manufacturing. The knobs are really nice. Finally there is serious.
UTILIZATION
The config of this device is very simple, you just get used to the compression part. There's just one knob "compression", no ratio and threehold separate. However when you are a beginner, it's actually quite practical. So for me it is really perfect.
And the great equalizer is seen.
As against the manual is in English, and very short.
SOUND QUALITY
Ah this is excellent. The preamp is right, it has enough headroom. compression is nice, it gives some color to the sound. Then the equalizer ... frankly it is great, very musical.
OVERALL OPINION
I have a few days, I use my voice and acoustic guitars, acoustic in. I was so far the preamp which I had not really satisfied: a tube pre, a audiobuddy, too limited, and then a Focusrite voicechannel (good but not versatile enough). It is not easy to find something good, with character, but that does not damage the sound in a price range up to 200 euros. Joemeek with this, I found what I wanted. Of course there are better, but much more expensive. THE RAPORT money is excellent. Of course I would do this choice!
