UTILIZATION

The manual is very correct, rather well done.
The VU meter of mine seemed to be not too far from reality, a good
Diode for understanding when we start to seek lamps, very useful
Easy to use in general, especially thanks to the presets comp
The "mic gain" I was always thoroughly, static or dynamic mic, for me it was useless knob!
I only used in mono, no problem with that.

SOUND QUALITY

I've owned for a long time and tried everything that was available to me.
This is a device that not color wrong, I had made long mix only with this device, it is a bit dark but the quality is good especially on occasion today. The color is deported to his grave with only the preamp, the same compressor used sparingly will also participate in the phenomenon.
The momentum is good but not extraordinary. It usually gives a good depth to the sound, especially bass.
The compressor presets are very well done, it is a strong point of the machine.
So, on a bass is very good to drive moiter the comp -3 or-5dB of gain reduction.
On guitars, you have to want something a little "roots" because of the color, even without compression.
Vote on this can be well on backing vocals or can be female voice. The preamp gives a lot of condenser microphones.
At the beginning or I had tried on entire mix or color really became overwhelming, really not for my opinion, or an entire track drums in VST: a little "bloated".

OVERALL OPINION

8 years of use, I sold better but I enjoyed it, he made me do a damn good at the time of purchase.
Its strong point for me are serious instruments on which he makes some good apréciable depth, I have not found on other devices, the bass in particular, DI, before the sale, I did not use more than that. At the limit of the vote.
The preamp is a good mid-range, the compressor is good, but it can become a caricature, it is not surgical, it contributes to the overall color in any case which is altogether positive, even if it seems it may sometimes miss the attacks, in particular on the voice siflantes.
Hot but "soft". If you metalheads to SM57 front of the amp is not a good preamp to me .. and I can tell you that I have experienced this case!
The presets are good, especially bass and vocals. Electroacoustic scratches quite as much depth but still very distinctive.
It will tend to pasting electric guitars, but hey it can be a desired effect on a little "thin" guitar.

The value today secondhand report is very good

Tube preamp with a compressor section.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and the comp presets are effective and useful.

SOUND QUALITY

Its typical hot, but if not push it too qd meme is transparent enough and anyway better than the preamp and other 3q TubePre (I owned) type.
Compressor with effective and well worth presets. My SM57 and 58 since I relive this preamp.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good RQPrix as small low-end preamps are ultimately not much cheaper but against twice as good, and if you want to climb in range and really make a difference with the TL Audio, then it will have to pay much more. ..
This preamp has really turned a corner in my ... I love her taken.

I used the 5060 to magnify the sound of my SX6 and then to my ADI2 Cubase5.
It made me proud of my service which was not very good to deal with a compressor.
it lacks the input / output XLR, but it's not a concern.
with the input / output digital it must be even better.

double-edged rack stereo mic 2u.une only emerges in stereo ...

UTILIZATION

Too easy to use.
Presets is great cool.je have used them for all sorts of instruments: keyboards, bass, guitar, vocals ...

SOUND QUALITY

is a very good entry level if you are not loaded and.
was fun with this toy.
I am separated with regret because I have bigger compressor Manley preamp and an AU table Soundcraf Series 200B then duplicate ...

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 3 years.
prior to the 5060 that I had the low-end (Tube Mp, art ... TPs)
The 5060 made me take a big leap forward.
I like the fact that one can choose the solicitation of the effect lamp.

I too loved the compressor also before I separated, I turn it off to use my 160x is the place ...

it is set has the ear!
views meters give the beast a pretty face ...


go for it if you want the versatility and you can not give you a slice high-end € 3000.
