Like any thing else....

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Semi professional musician and studio owner.

Reviewer's Play Style: Many styles.

it has its applications. I sometimes freelance doing voiceovers for training cd's. This is the unit I use for recording these jobs. Very natural sounding for the 1spoken voice. I also use it for some music vocals and insurment miking. But it may not work in all applications. But for the money it has been great! I also got a free JM-27 condenser mic with it when I bought it. And I am using them now to record percussion.

My only complaint is the cool looking blue led that shows the compressor is enabled has burnt out.

I own some very high end preamps and I also own a lot of budget pres. This is by far the best budget pre I've ever owned. It stacks up extremely well in a mix and the eq and comp are very useful. Of all the budget channel strips this is one everyone should consider or at least try it.

What more do you want for the money!

If you are on a constrained budget in your home studio endeavors, this piece is a great addition in lieu of buying Drawmer or Focusrite channels. I haven't used it on vocals yet, but I am game! For guitars, it works great and is a piece of cake to use, I know only that much right now. For the price, you can't beat it. You will not be doing Pink Floyd recordings with it, but what do you want for the price?

Not So Good

The set-up and features of this unit were exactly what I was looking for, and I had heard great things. The eg was ok, but before long I realized the pre was grainy and brittle. The compressor was the real disappointment. Even the smallest gain reduction yielded unacceptable results for my acoustic style music.

Joe Meek ThreeQ

Has a cheasy feel to it and sounds awful. The preamp has a very tinny sound to it. Compressor isn't smooth and EQs are what you'd find on a low level board. Connectors at the back move around when you plug into it. It's pretty noisy when using all three stages.
