Best value:
Excellent
(Originally written by barbilux/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Most people use it with guitar but I personally use it with a condenser mic for vocals and my DAW. T-Bone MB78 Beta.
Housing and components seem to be rugged (connections, switch and controls are good).
The 48v phantom power can be switched off.
UTILIZATION
Easy and convenient to adjust the gain level. Wide and good sensitivity. Some people might miss a scale around the controls to write down their settings more precisely, but the clip indicator and the computer meters ought to be enough!
SOUND QUALITY
I always use settings so that it stays linear, and I like its sound clarity. I get neutral and faithful voices.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using it for one year and I'm satisfied.
It was recommended to me via Audiofanzine and it has a good value for money.
I read that tubes give a smoother and warmer sound than solid-state but I haven't done any test in that regard... I use the original tube. This preamp works good.
It's a top product among versatile low priced products.
