Best value:
Excellent
For the features I will let you take a look below or here: http://www.soundperformancelab.com/index.php?id=134&L=1
FYI, my version is a Premium relampée in NOS.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is simple and clear, not really need the manual. The construction is very serious, so it's a pleasure to use!
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is excellent throughout, especially on the clean channel that is both warm, transparent and offers good headroom. With regard to the sound tube will be found better elsewhere, though I must admit that I use very often because it is very flattering on vocals, making them soft, shiny or slightly hot (harmonics) when the gain is fully . The advantage is to be able to measure between the clean and the tube to obtain, with the setting of output level, the personality you want.
Two remarks on the options:
_L'option Impedance change is really the gadget, I would have preferred a triple low-cut instead, something far more useful in home studio where one often has to approach the microphone and offset the effect Proximity (everyone not of his making his cabin!).
_The FET limiter, what slaughter! That cash to death while remaining transparent enough, so you can record high-dynamic sources while making the most of the converter (for me an Audient MICO).
I recommend the card A / D conversion because it does not enjoy the whole dynamic of the case and does not offer treatment to the height ...
OVERALL OPINION
It will soon be a year since I slaughter this little I have, needless to say I made my mix sound and took the level! Indeed, the signal needs far fewer corrections, it fits easily, is not "soft" as with the low-end preamp (like Samson C-Valve!). On the contrary, musical and balanced, pure and dense!
I used the preamp of my Firepod, needless to say it's a step up, yet Presonus already offers a certain quality. But the accuracy in the low, finesse in the treble, signal purity, it has a price ... Not to mention the possibilities of color!
Sometimes I also use the preamps of MICO (Hearing) that are colder than the Gain Station without having to be ashamed of the comparison. Thanks to their potatoes and their neutrality they have their place next to the boiboite SPL (eg percussion is very very good).
Besides the sound, I like most is the FET limiter, absolutely fatal. Ca cash so we can really let go of the song!
Very good price / quality ratio. It is possible that I redo this choice but I like trying new stuff and I'm curious, maybe would I feel more brands ... ^ ^
