You are bidding on our ISA 430 (Mk I) The unit is being replaced with an ISA 828. Love the sound of the pre and there is no better box available for a single channel. We have owned and tried the UA LA 610 and the Avalon 737 and both are great and work quite well this unit provides the things you can not get with either listed. You can operate the compressor section and the d-esser and the limiter at the same time which assures you of no digital overloads. The eq is quite round and while I hate to say musical, it does not 'create' a sound, it just makes your source come to life. The unit has hi and low pass filters, shelf eq's and full mid band parametric eq. One of the best features is the gate which can be switched to a downward expander by the press of a button. The classic transformer pre delivers up to 80 db of gain (more than both the UA and Avalon) which drives ribbon mics without issue. Did I say I love the sound of the pre - a very analog sound, warm but not overly tube drive sound. This is a perfect channel strip for the analog front end of any DAW.
