Not really a whole lot missing, more inputs would be great- but for a dual channel pre-amp, its a GREAT price.
Price paid: $1800 USD
UTILIZATION
No problems- XLR and 1/4inch inputs and the same outputs. It has phantom power for my mics. I love it because I can route 1/4 inch cables into my digi 002 without taking up one of its 4 XLR inputs- so it makes way for more inputs on my other system.
Built fairly well, some of the roll off buttons stick at times.
SOUND QUALITY
This piece of equipment is a dual tube preamp/eq/compressor. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I paid $999 USD for it, but the street price is right around 1800, lists for 2300 or so. I love this piece of gear- honestly, it gives the similar product made by Avalon a run for its money. It does great with kick and snare, theres a bunch of control over tonal quality, eq, and compression. a -20dB roll of switch is ideal for louder instruments. When used right out of the box, it sounds great- a little tweaking to compression settings and eq- and it sounds amazing- especially if you already have a nice mic (Neumann or B.L.U.E). It also sounds amazing on vocals.
