Can't beat the money September 12, 2008
N. Gagnon (New England)
I bought this unit because I needed a phantom power unit for a condenser mic and I am amazed with the results. If you have a project studio, you will be too.
I've used this preamp to add tube warmth, depth and responsiveness to vocals and acoustic guitar. There is no substitute for tubes. If you're a pro, you'll probably spend more money on something else. For the rest of us.. it's a huge step up in sound vs the solid state preamps in most interfaces.
 Great DI box for non powered acoustic pick ups August 4, 2008
Jay Dog (Toledo,Oh)
Great DI box...A little touchy but smooth sounding, We use it for our seymore duncan no powered block pickups and is awsome for that. Have ran vocals through it live and is almost over powering but a tweak or 2 and bam! Smooth vocals..Should cost 4x as much. Buy it it's only a few bucks. You wont be disappointed.
Excellent for Price July 30, 2008

As a broke college student I couldn't afford much to go along with my protools rig but I wanted a tube preamp to add just that extra warmth in my home recordings. and for the $30 i spent it was worth it. Of course if you can afford to spend $75 or $150 by all means do so. The tube is so small in this thing and my only major complaint is there is no On/Off switch you ahve to unplug and plug everytime. but overall, if you're on a budget or just experimenting its worth it.

i know 'you get what you pay for' sounds negative, but that's not why i'm writing this review. i purchased this unit with the intention of modifying it. before i started to do that, i gave it a very good listen. the pots (volume knobs) seemed to adjust a couple different humming noises. only in certain positions on the dial did the noise subside to a low level. and mind you, that low level is anything but acceptable to anyone doing semi-pro work. basically, i was restricted to only one position on the gain knobs to work in, because the two different noise sources seemed to phase out there. i might as well have hot glued them in place, but for the resulting sound, it wouldnt even be worth the effort.
if you are looking for a strictly entry level phantom power preamp, and dont care about noisy gear, this is a must buy. otherwise, dont waste your time.

I'll confess - I needed a mic pre-amp and didn't have a big budget. This seemed like I couldn't go wrong so I bought it.
So far I'm impressed with the sound quality, features, build, and value of this low end tube preamp.
First, it has both 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs, with no switches needed (both work all the time). The VU meter is backlit and features an overdrive LED as well as a limiter circuit as well as input gain and output level controls.
This unit has performed well so far - I ran it constantly for the first 48 hours to weed out any early problems and none appeared. The box gets a little warm in constant usage, but not objectionably so. Some is from the meter light and some from the tube heater.
If I ran into the need to go from mic --> line level again I'd buy this amp again. It's nice to be surprised with the quality and features instead of disappointed with snap together plastic stuff that eats 9V batteries every day.
This was definitely a case of the wallet talking and making the right decision.
