Notepad-12FX : Received Last week, First impression is good

Look nice, small and lightweight. Maybe not the most robust but no problem for homestudio/rehearsal

Simple and minimalist (no power switch, no power indicator, no 48v switch, ..) But not a problem for me

Preamp clear, Neutral, Good gain, no breath, pop's or other

All linds of Mic / Inst are well supported (Sure S58, RodeNt1, Bass guitar, Digital Piano, ..)

Simple and effective effects

Real 2/2 USB (Directly recognizable by Ableton after Installation of PC drivers)

You can record two tracks simultaneously in your favorite DAW

Different routing options in order to assign Mixer Inputs to the two USB tracks

Also two separate output tracks from the DAW to the mixer

The only "weak" point i see, but you can deal with it:

You always have to play with two

Knobs "FX / AUX (blue)" and "Input Level (big red)" in order to adjust the good balance between level and effect on a channel.

Also in order to completely silent a channel, your have to turn both knobs to zero

But first impression is Simple and Efficient

Update to come
