So, I must confess that it was a great surprise. I sold a guitar and the buyer asked me to pay part year material. Seeking a preamp, I said ok. I do not know the brand Koch, I took a little like that, telling me to resell later. Well I'm not disappointed. In addition, the type seemed to want to get rid of than anything else, she took the dust. (Must say, with his collection ....). I took it and returned home without conviction I have tested it extensively with my amp, my effects, etc.. I have ridden other lamps, the record is impressive. Especially the integrated power section that allows you to saturate an additional floor. The 4 lights are not there to decorate for sure! This preamp is very responsive, very dynamic, I rediscovered my guitar over all these racks, modeling ,....
I still think it better with other lamps, because the record is really different depending on what he brings. I love to use in all situations: the headphone (great) in front of the combo (very big), as receiver (Live ),.... a speaker is clearly inspired by the Mesa V twin, but in 2X 2X bigger and with more lamps.
Clearly a favorite for me, more by chance exchanges.
The price new is very expensive, I personally have had no cost (exchange) and, based on a price I can not even admit ;-))
Ah yes, mine is one of the first built, it is even numbered by hand.
