Joemeek Pre-amplification

(Originally written by Olivier_lg/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Analog, "warmer" than a lot of tube preamps Conceived by Ted Fletcher who worked on the famous Trident mixing consoles + "Meequalizer" + optical compressor 2 XLR + line/instrument inputs UTILIZATION Simple and effective with all sorts of signals SOUND QUALITY Very good and with a lot of character, no hi-fi sound... but still very versatile (vocals, instruments, gun shots...) See on ProRec homepage http://www.prorec.com/ OVERALL OPINION 1 year of use. In my opinion, it has a very "manly" rock sound. The front panel is rather simple and it surely doesn't do justice to the fabulous electronics inside. I don't like the black on green labeling on the front panel, you can't read a thing. You need a good sight... I replaced the input XLR connector with a Neutrik one because the quality wasn't as good as the electronics. Excellent price for money. It can easily be compared with a top-of-the-range preamp even if it can't replace them all (of course)... I give it an 8 because I own much more expensive gear and it made me start wearing glasses! If it ever gets stolen, I'll buy it again without hesitation.
