UTILIZATION

Very simple to use: nothing really rocket science!

SOUND QUALITY

Almost not breathing! Even with the gain cranked, it is reasonable! Compared to other preamps lamp input range, but still much more expensive (up to 150-200 euros), the day and night! There is hardly any breath with a gain already, so who therefore is perfectly usable, compared to most competing products at this range.

on the other hand, nearly nonexistent color lamp too!

OVERALL OPINION

It is therefore especially a small booster-Swiss Army knife of sound quality surprising. It is ideal for people who want a cheap preamp, with the possibility of adding a (very) slight coloration typical "lamp".

If you want a stronger color, then there are two options: buy a much more expensive amp (from 300-400 euros for 1 channel), or changing the lamp.

I currently have a mesa boogie lamp in stock to test, but I have not yet been tested. It is not the loss of warranty stops me (product price "ridiculous"). But I lack time right now (not to write this critique, however!: O))

I would do this purchase knowing what it implies: good boost with decent sound and little or no wind depending on the level of gain used. Swiss Army knife. Ability to change the lamp for a superior (not tested yet: I do an update when it is done).

NB: I have not really tested the limiter. It will also refresh during the test lamp replacement.
