Line: Between the floor line jumps independant preamp allows the use of the method as "plug in" without having left free (aspartic;)

UTILIZATION

Config very simple, all at 3 U high so there's a good visibilty knob that are accurate and of very good quality,
Considering the meter gives very good indications.
There are LEDs for indicating the Deese action.

This gives a fairly easely for his little know what we want to do ..

Very simple manual

SOUND QUALITY

The Son is the clear choice Very Own, present, or sweet soup, but never dirty (I'm not got to do with the DARC)
the color is very pleasant possibilties of this machines are huge.

The preamp gives excellent results on the Voice is just acoustic instrument, with the choice between a clear, nervous or soft and warm.

The compressor's nothing he deserves buying this product because it offers many possibilities, and very rich tone, opto enriched by bringing the signal, a je ne sais quoi that exalts the voice, as to Fet, it is very fast and allows any large treatment.

The Goddess does not just remove the hissing of a track, but to soften the cost of mediating a guitar, or Crince fingers of a bass a little old ...

Only downside: the Gate which is too short thershold 48 db and the relaxation of 250 ms is almost inutilsable in Studio. Cons live by it can be used.

The limiter is protecting the output level, but no adjustment. bind to relaxation ... damage

I remove an item because of a Gate and lim but for everything else I know of a machine that offers so much.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years

the +:

Very versatile machines, and complete Archi: I'm using it in gear and much in the mix.
Choosing the Preamps and comps ... Gadgets and it is not, the differences are heard.
Cause its a 3 U high it does not heat up too much, and does not need to unt of ventilation (relative an Avalon VT 737 By Ex)
The connection is more than complete ... (Output doubled between 4 possible ...)
The -

The Gate is the negative point of this machine,
The Eq and although full is not made for surgical work. It is very musical and can ventilate out of the instrument mix is ​​treated (I use a plug upstream to remove what bothers me and I stained with the EQ Hardware
The report price and quality in my opinion and sections Preamp Excellent Comp and she deserves only the price ...
I tried a lot. other models.

I possess a UA 6176, 1 DRAWMER 1969, And baucoup Comp and EQ (Avalon, Manley, Neve Amek, Spl ...)

I am very satisfied with the VP1.
