    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Driven by a small preamp dual triode ECC83 (12AX7)
    TL082 operational amplifier (not low noise)
    a bunch of transistors and passive components.

    UTILIZATION

    Tested to pre-amplify a Fender Rhodes, the result is pretty grim
    unpleasant background noise, the tube is useless
    I tried to use a condenser microphone (AKG C535) with phantom power:
    do not even think it is a real massacre.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Surprised by the overall quality I removed to perform some steps:
    The tube is powered by a series of doublers Latour from the AC power supply
    preamp result only 56 volts of high voltage!
    12AX7 knowing that performs well with 300 volts and is saying!

    OVERALL OPINIO…

    OVERALL OPINION

    Flee, this thing is useless!
    those who claim to "warm sound" because it is a poor tube "made in China inside"
    have never worked with real tube preamp.
    Needless to replace the tube with a Telefunken or Siemens 50s
    is to give jam to pigs ...

    Poor quality

    Everything has been said. It is roughly the same in competition with some tips and more.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple to use

    SOUND QUALITY

    If pushed to the bottom it blows, but nothing shocking or surprising. The lamp certainly has an effect on the pre-amplification, but a change of the lamp does not turn completely.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It did not take more than a year of moderate use in home studio environment! to pre-amplify a condenser microphone and as DI for bass.
    In short it was not bad, but the quality at this price it's just a matter of luck probably.

    - Ah, good old lamp: that's good!
    - 2 XLR & jack
    - 2 outputs (ditto)

    Metal casing, solid, light inaccessible.

    UTILIZATION

    Config extremely simple, a boost, phase switch, input levels and output.
    English manual

    SOUND QUALITY

    I bought it because the sound of my bass amp is a little cold, it brings the heat required by using the edge of distortion.

    The lamp is supplied m **** Chinese replaced by Sovtek.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used as a foot between my amp and my bass (no other effects). That's cool, it warms and it can be used for anything else, eventually.

    No breath using jacks, somewhat improved with the Sovtek.

    Value for money simply unbeatable: 3…

    Value for money simply unbeatable: 39 € chez Thomann, it's worth it, really, comes with a power supply 1000mA

    Edit from 01/10/08: It's already dead ... I will not repeat that choice, for sure ...
