A very good cost effective preamp
I've used this product for years for a live band and works exceptionally well. For the money, its a great value when you consider the cost of other preamps. The only issue I have with it is the 1/4 jacks are circuit-board mounted and consist of a plastic housing. Due to the typical abuse that happens with live sound gear, I've busted them and had to super-glue/re-solder them. Its just something to be careful of when a 1/4 cord is plugged in, to avoid yanking/pulling/stepping on the cord that puts harmful pressure on the jack. Regardless of that, I would recommend this unit, especially to someone using it for an acoustic stringed instrument

Nice pre
Decent mic pre for very cheap. I didn't want to deal with phantom power through all my gear, so this puts my mics at line level before sending them through.

Clean gain. Affordable price.
Good clean gain. The power cord I got with it somehow got damaged and rattles when I move it around, but is still fully functional
