Sweet sounds

I own three of these. I'm buying one more so when I record drums, all mics will go through the Blue Tube. I have used it on voice with a Shure KSM 32 and the sound is like you are standing in front of the singer. Then again, I use it on everything.

Bass Player/Novice Recorder

I bought this unit to use the phantom power supply while recording on AKG mikes to a Sony MD recorder and to direct line my Lakland bass, also. Pretty good results. Went to replace the "tubes" and much to my surprise there is only one tube in the unit... both sides share one tube.

Great features, solid preamp

Despite what some of the other reviewers have said, this is a very solid preamp, as long as its used properly. its won several awards for goodnes sake! i bought this in replacement of an older ART TUBE MP preamp, and its quality way surpasses the ART. very warm sound, and nice clean signal if you find the right settings. the ability to have two inputs is big plus as well. however I should note that the price cut is due to the fact that its been discontinued and replaced by the bluetube DP. The quality for the price is well worth it. It's not high-end studio stuff, but great for home recording.

I have had it for about 3 years and have used it for many live applications from a vocal preamp. (It really warms up a headset mic), to a Bass preamp which i am now using it for. ( bass to bluetube, out to compressor, split to power amp +cab, and front of house). It sounds great
