Best value:
Excellent
Preamp tube, which heats a lot and also we can put that in disconnecting.
no real effects, a limiter, a phantom power supply, a pad and phase reverse ...
two inputs (XLR and jack 6.35) and two outputs (same)
it is very small and the two gain knobs / output are really practical. the minimum but I think it's great, especially since it helps to lower the price.
UTILIZATION
The manual is very clear, the use is very basic, no worries
SOUND QUALITY
I hesitate between 7 and 8, it breaks some effect closet of the room in which I record, and allows me to easily manage really the entry level of my sound card.
it is still very transparent in terms of sound, the color is very slight, what I expected. against by the limiter is actually far too destructive, I do not use it, I never used elsewhere. the pad seems to work but I have not really tested, because of the two knobs that provides me.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a little over a month, what I like most is managing the volume and price.
what I like least is the limiter, but hey, if you are interested in this model, do not buy it for the limiter, you will be disappointed.
I have not tried other models, I was not interested in preamps because I thought it too tinged voice, I am pleased to see that this is not always the case.
The value for money is excellent, I use it to straighten out my ID for my low and out of my microphone (AT4033) for voice and the guitar sound. is the perfect complement to a good mic for a budget. I use it to catch without compression, compression after I add.
on the other hand is obvious that it would be at line level, you can not plug a guitar in there, it's not made for that. and it catches up with almost nothing on my other dynamic mic.
If you start singing and you have a limited budget, try to find a proper condenser microphone (studio project of AT40 or occas') and with this little preamp, you will already have taken utilisabes and faithful of your voice .
