All user reviews for the PreSonus BlueTube DP

see technical data in info ...

UTILIZATION

The design is clean and simple but as I blame the whole products from Presonus, the knobs are a bit light and it is especially difficult to see the position (white line on blue background ...)
Both tranches are identical but not switched together. The use of this is that there are more basic but complete with meters and backlit buttons: 48V, 20dB pad, phase reverse, low cut filter 80 Hz
There is a gain setting and the amount of light used, it can also completely switch to transistor turning the knob down.
the manual is in English but somehow useless.

SOUND QUALITY

Although we speak of light, do not expect a miracle as preamps with a 0 price more ... but it does its job, it slightly warms the reports. Comparing with XMax transistor Presonus, which are also very good for their range, we gain a little, but not extraordinary.
But beware the lamp usage is limited to it, do not push it because the saturation is not beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use (x2) for 6 years and no malfunction. I admit that now it is my last wheels of the coach that I come when big project where I need to increase my number of entries.
It was my first tube preamp when I started and it has served me well for the home studio. Even if I went to something else, Presonus is a great brand with the best quality price ratio on the market to get started.
In the same situation at the time (and budget requirement) I would do this choice.

I will not dwell on this, I know very little, I wanted a prampli lamp, and the one I liked. It has a pretty face, rev heals, but it seems to me quite fragile ... Finally it is probably psychological ds now we know that there is a light in it, because finally the box is all metal and sturdy knobs to me like ... I regret terribly just an ON / OFF ... May be that it would be like a world of pramplis, but I do not like the personal dye by pressing the red button on the strip on which it is connected ... I always feel like something bad! I like the fact that catches are derrires for the day I rack ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration could not be simpler ... Personal I turned up that I like it and making gaffe too dcoller to the needle, because it looks wrong ... The manual that is lightweight enough ...

SOUND QUALITY

Well then it's subjective ... trs I plug my synth on this little pramp 'and sometimes a micro ... I just emissions for all makes. For synths it gives a warm cot or even a really cool lgre saturation ... It allows new things to work ... its just his I love everything to organ, piano, violin, and synth sounds I want mess.

Obviously the sound is not correctly reproduced, but it is precisely what we want. It's the same for micro, it can give a small cot radio really nice. It brings color is clear. I love to!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two or three weeks, I've never tried other ... I do not even know what is happening cot really. I love everything in this little prs pramp, because in fact what one wants. The product is a bit expensive, m'enfin What is a lamp. I remake that choice without hesitation. Damage even when the on / off.

As I said I use a Korg synth for a TR, and also for my Roland AX-Synth. It gives color sounds really liked that too. The sounds of the Roland silent my taste too bright lifeless, bland enough that Russia and the BLUETUBE changes the game is really cool. You push a little lamp and it gives a hell of a PCHE!! I really like!!

I refer to the manufacturer's website ... otherwise I would say it has all the functions ncessaires (for the price anyway)

UTILIZATION

The use could not be easier!

SOUND QUALITY

That's the the problem! in making this purchase, I wanted a small prampli that brings me more over pramps of my current sound card. Given that advice taient rather good on the old MODEL BLUETUBE and for the price, I started!
I launched into a SERIES of tests .... and big surprise! Gain too low, and a lamp that does nothing if not a saturation trsdsagrable ...
There was talk of a certain color bcp Pronone enough for BLUETUBE ... but nothing .... Trs transparency really sad ...
Conclusion: Following my comparison tests, the pramp my sound card is a reserve of a well suprieure gain and a color and a strong dynamic enjoyable ... regarding the RFP, is quite the opposite!
As you can see! A big dception!

OVERALL OPINION

My goal is not to fall EmS a product but rather to avoid future buyer to plant them in their choices! Indeed, for 199, it does its job, period. Do not buy this product for amliorer or provide a color your sound, it's not his job! I recommend people who have a sound card without pramp and do not want to buy a mixing desk, etc. ....

Transistor technology with lamps to decorate
model rack from the bottom of the unit

UTILIZATION

Brief manual in English

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is OK with the transistor preamp, but we put the lamp on his deteriorating.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 days

What I like least: the lights that are unnecessary

I tried Avalon, Dw Fearn ... nothing to do for her and the bank account.

quality / price ratio means

I will not repeat that choice. I'll buy a sound card more expensive but with better preamps.

See below, but more interesting is two amplification systems (transistor / light) mixed, and 2 / 2 out

for each input: low-cut filter 80 Hz, inverstion phase reamplify padding-20db for a strong signal, phantom power supply.

input combo jack / XLR, each selectable output jack / XLR

UTILIZATION

Super simple, you activate the switch options, you turn the knob to the setting, and voila.

English manual.

SOUND QUALITY

Super good, low-cut filter filter sounds too rich grave of my guitar.

Add a can of light amplification adds something or more.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one myself, I took it for double amplification system, the two see, and options and especially the phantom power supply for my condenser microphone (not tested since lent my dad for now)

I do not regret, to be redone.

See above

UTILIZATION

Simple

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is faithful aseez.
The only problem is a serious snoring even when the knobs are at zero gain.
Jai tried everything to remove it (change of connectivity, power, local), nothing todo, this is always the hum.

OVERALL OPINION

As mentioned above I found the sound quality is pretty good coloring of the lamp warm enough.
I returned to the store because of the snoring problem and I tried a autre.Meme problem, making this unit unusable. I ended up taking a Focusrite Trackmaster Pro and, there's no photo, is very clean.

Technology transistors + 1 lamp for 2-way
XLR / Jack Neutrik
It seems that he can rack ... Not see how but hey. I would not fawn all the usefulness of the rack, cel rest of "small" pramp for home-studio.

UTILIZATION

I did not have the manual with the can (occasionally) but I do not have to: with two knobs and 4 buttons per channel, it's OK The job is simple archi- and effective.

SOUND QUALITY

This is my first pramp and I have not enough bottle to talk too technical, but the ear is all that incomparable with what I could get up the table with my old Ibanez blowing crackles and saturates everything is ...

I test all configurations Submitted: Micro in voice, micro instrument, DI (guitar or bass directly in it) and he comes out of everything: one or two rounds of ptits knob, a glimpse of the Vu-Maître and go!

It's pure, powerful and rounded thanks the lamp (not all the same too, above the 25/30% started DGRAD the signal, and we arrive at a more 'Brutos' ). But when it is rgl hop, its signal was clean and breathless .. G-nial.

For that price it INESPRE ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4-5 weeks and I love her face, its ease of use, and the sound it gives me. I have not had the opportunity to try others.

For the price, it's really gnial. One approaches a dj normment his 'pro' (when starting from nothing in any case, like me). Although do not expect rvolution sr: there is nothing that prampli, no compression, gate, expander and other frills, has amplified and does it well.

Exprience with, yes, I would do that choice and be happy

Technology: Transistor + lamp eventually (possibility to cut the lamp)
Connectors: XLR / Jack
Rack-mount model.
(See description AF trs prcis for more information)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is very simple, as most preamps.
The manual is clear and sufficient (a condition to have some basic knowledge about
the sound, such as food needed for condenser microphones ... some knowledge of possible problems of phase .... etc.).
Used when recording an album of acoustic guitar, with two microphones
static, it is quite satisfactory. Opportunity to assay the level of the lamp
when it is implemented. Deplus, the analog level meters are easy to
monitor, not ngligeable bonus these days! Test also as direct box
with an electro-acoustic guitar is more than acceptable deumeure facing a simple box
DI in part by the lamp (attention to adjusting it!). It does not compete
however, with an acoustic guitar preamp ddi what it is (also)
not!!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the pickups is played correctly. The sound is pretty clear that using
transistors, and the tube provides a more color quite nice.
In short this is a preamp taf!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 weeks and I recommend it particularly.
The feature that I prefer: the possibility to cut the lamp or to dose level, XLR and jack connectors, both channels and especially the possibility of an instrument preamplifier and / or a microphone! (Static or dynamic).
The lack of on / off switch is not primarily teachers and avoids an "On-Offit" acute abmerait the lamp.
The design is nice but the only thing I ask is to make the preamp to taf
not that of a Christmas wreath!

With the experience I remake that choice again (I judge the quality price ratio
excellent for this dual preamp - but this is only my opinion of course).

Dj said ...

UTILIZATION

Trs simple! English manual only but not need it to understand ...

SOUND QUALITY

Pramp I use this for voice and my guitar and he played great! It does not color too but really brings warmth trs audible! Those who say it does nothing did not test or compare srement pramp a table ... With good connections with XLR, taking up land, a good map audionumrique and a microphone coupled to quality can be obtained about the results with this pramp boggles the mind!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month now and it compltement change the sound of my home studio ... I work with and JOEMEEK avalon but see nothing. It is less 'pro' That a avalon (I must say it is cheaper too!) And color unless JOEMEEK (but I do not think it conus for that), but quelqun is just perfect for one who seeks his pramp worthy of a good tube.

Uses a FIREPOD is a bit a plonasme, but by digging well, you get get a little more grain for voice, and a more vintage one for solo guitar.
A bit of overdrive for the voice over for the guitar.
Jack + XLR connectors
Racker ... too small, no slots for the screws.
So rack on a wholesale or Tagra the adapter PRESONUS BMRA
No On Off button, shame about the economy and for the branches taken away derrire your desktop!

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use.
Manuel trs clear English.

SOUND QUALITY

The pramp brings this aspect or you just used a mtallique FIREPOD (may be the lamp?)
Update: On the votes, but remains coupled revrifier a t-bone Sc in 1100, a time has made it hotter than the pramp the FIREPOD (trs it is cold )
I re-did a test later and pushed the overdrive too makes her useless.

Electric guitar (natural) saturates quickly in overdrive (not distortion when same) which is a shame because it seems that the clipped signal (which is not) and is PForm (this is the case).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days.
I like ...
I do not catch derrire, boring connect.
Compared with a presonus pramp FIREPOD is a bit warmer, with a small grain.
It's a bit expensive if you already have a good sound card with pramp, as I said, it may be not worth the buy.
I do not know if I referrer choice.
But what's done is done.

Update: After a few months, I left to compltement closet.
Rgler boring (his false clippings and VU meters panicked) when one is pressed and does not much if your "sound card" is equipped with a dj pr amp nice.
Oh yes! It amne noise!

A revrifier nanmoins because I like to tell me it's a bad purchase!
I will push this BLUETUBE!!

I do not return to this point, everything has said t

Rack, I do not know how it's done?!

connectivity is Designed, pity she is not the front

UTILIZATION

Configuration extremely simple!

English manual, which I think is not used much, given the ease of use of

prampli!

SOUND QUALITY

I use this little prampli Global Warming for the sound of my Rickenbacker (4000 a 1976) in

directly to a head ampeg 350h (mosfet) and two 38 Beringer, I changed the lamp that ds

I bought a groove tubes against 12AX7M, SERIES Mullard, and although I get sound trs

warm, saturated as I have always DSIR!

ammateur as punk rock / hard core, I finally found a drive that provides the lightweight

PCHE and what this particular grain monstrous music

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for nearly 4 months and have APRS ssay number of pedals of saturation,

I think I finally found what suits me perfectly;

report qualitprix super

it is clear q'avec the exprience, I would do the same choice
