Sound QualityThis is a great sounding pre-amp. As its older and not as clear as the newer mic pres, it's not the most transparent mic pre I've ever heard, but that's no complaint. In fact, it tends to make everything a little warmer and fatter for the most part, if it changes anything at all. Plus, the EQ on it is phenomenal. It somehow seems to amplify only the good parts of a signal. It basically makes things sound incredible. I know that some people prefer not to EQ right away but I couldn't help using the EQs at tracking, as they brought everything out so much.Overall Opinion I was reminded at the absolutely stellar quality of Neve pre-amps when I used this, but I also found quite a treat in the EQ and filters on this thing as well. I don't think I'll get to use one again until I go back to the studio that has the console, but I plan on doing that as soon as I get involved with a project that has the budget for it. I highly recommend this channel strip.
