Best value: Excellent
Pramp discrete tracking comp, gate, goddess, "enhancer" bass and treble.
Between XLR and jack, direct out (between pramp and comp) jack, output jack.

UTILIZATION

Using fairly simple, the user screws is clear amateur ...
Preamp: enough diodes for rgler
Comp: it only has the intensity (threshold + ratio?) And rapid (the time of the attack and release). A bit of percussion limited to work or treatment spciaux but OK for voice and others.
Goddess: the rglages are sufficient; ca grate is not easy because not enough diodes.
Enhancer: it is obvious that the IDAL t have the power rgler frequencies. The gadget is!
Expander: but why have they placed all the rest APRS? They have nothing in the CRNE jojos DBX. At least compltement forget not to use the comp!
Specially mention the direct output to extract the signal before it is rotten treatment.

SOUND QUALITY

Pramp: it does its job. I find it quite pchu. Treble going well. It is the home studio. No audible coloration by me (in a good and bad ways). Sr is sought not the saturation of the transistor is dgueu. But it is not the purpose of the craft, although sr.
Comp: use, efficient and fairly neutral on vocals, keyboard, bass. It is the basic for the attack or live sound card. Not mixing.
Goddess in use in concert, not useful trs. At home, you should remove the "sss" with a soft.
"Enhancer" hum. The most weird of the device. It's not a psycho-acoustic processor, but a double equalizer "loudness" trs not convincing. However, little ca use a quick boost bass sound. But I find it trs gadget. Enhancer or a real EQ paramtrique t have much more useful.
Expander: APRS effective but useless because the comp. A scandal.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, the further along the chain of treatment is more dtriore ca.
I use it as pramp with the direct output, sometimes the comp is also useful. The rest is not useful nor tural imagination.
Its only advantage is that in the CATEGORY "pramp discrete low price" is the best. It is foolish to seek the lamps below € 1000.
A remake.
