UTILIZATION

Bought used without the manual but it is super simple ...

SOUND QUALITY

With the original lamp, the sound is ultra-transparent, one finds almost no heat lamps: Too bad. saturates at a 3 / 4 gain. The original lamp is not bad for a color lgrement bass amp transistors or to the taking of a man singing badly studio grs it lacks personality.

APRS have it plugged into a guitar with a light grip on my sovtech vieu JCM800, this small box becomes prampli / overdrive with a nice 70's trs. aadj many more characters and saturates one third of the gain.
It will try that with a lamp that rises over the gain to see what happens. ds as possible I would test with a lamp that warmer does not saturate to test its capabilities in clean ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 days for Russia to understand what I'm going to make this prampli.

I like the simplicity of this box. I have an old amp peavey 200h pramp which is ultra cool. This preamp will allow me to add a tint "lamp".

I bought it used less than 15 euros shipping and power supply included. So what is the price is a bargain.

I do not really need a pre amp first set. But this has taken the same I would do certainly BTIS.

UTILIZATION

Very simple!

Turn the knob to rgler gain and volume, and buttons for options.

SOUND QUALITY

He brings a lot of heat when I use it with my bass (Fender PB) and not make trouble with the lace sensor and the pearly gate of my Start Plus Deluxe.
But admont all when I plug my upstream Marshall pedals (compressor, reflector, supervibes, Jackhammer and blues breaker).
The avantege is that I can get the gain without saturation, that's what I was looking for.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months!
I have not tried other model because I bought used to make me a versatile amp.
Trs good report quality price.
This is a great product to make an amp without ruinner house.
I make a box clot (wood) with an HP 35l carvin PS10 (10 ") spcial bass (also secondhand), for the amp is an amp qualizer 10 bands for 4x20W car manufacturing in the 70 (very good quality and given), is your exact Bluff.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use

SOUND QUALITY

Here is the real subject, it is a preamp that costs about 50 €, and I have a Joemeek Joemeek SixQ ONEQ and which obviously cost much more.
The microphone input are: APEX 435 or E935 Seinnheiser
Hardware output is: Compressor / Expander DBX266XL, M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R.
Result (Experiment 3 years and 4 albums CD): Compared with Joemeek, I can do as well with a little more heat, and it bothers me because the price is not the same.
No breath with the PAD-20dB, the correct dynamics, no saturation by adjusting the output gain at 3 notch from max, and a sufficient power level.
So, I'm amazed, I even pushed the deputy to integrate 2 in a 19 "to have them available in my lap Samson, and according to the grain of the singer's voice (Waitress) I chose a Joemeek or Behringer .

Value for money: well, excellent
Yes, I would do this choice!

This is a little one channel tube preamp made by Behringer. There are no effects other than gain and a built-in limiter. There are a couple other features though. There is a 20dB pad in case you have a very hot signal that is clipping even with the gain all the way down. There is a switch for phantom power for condenser mics. There is a switch for phase reversal if you are doing multi-miking or stereo miking. Then there is a switch to engage the limiter if you want it. The gain is controlled in two stages - a tube gain stage, and then an output stage with another 10db of gain and attenuation down to 0. The connections are XLR mic connectors. It is not rackable, it is a small table-top preamp. It is powered by a 9V wall wart plug.

UTILIZATION

This preamp is very, very easy to use. The controls are very simple so you pretty much just plug it in, decide which features you want engaged, and fiddle with the gains from there. The manual does explain everything it can do, though there is not much documentation necessary because the device is pretty simple.

SOUND QUALITY

This preamp does color your sound a bit, it's not a very transparent pre-amp. It seems to make things sound a little bit crispier and thinner. It sounds pretty good for electric guitars, but not so good for something that is generally more full featured like lead vocals. Overall I was impressed with its sound considering it's from Behringer, but you definitely don't want to use this on anything with a wide frequency spectrum because this will mess with the sound too much.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this at a studio about a year ago. I liked what it does to electric guitars, it definitely helped the sound for the track we were recording. It made them more raw and present. I don't like what it does to most other sources, because the coloration usually seems detrimental. I have used a lot of preamps. This one is very cheap, so if you want a starter preamp and you'll be recording a lot of distorted guitars, you may want to consider this one. I wouldn't buy one for my own.
