Tube MP/C : simply a great litle tool for the small studio

what's not to love about this Little box. good sounding preamp with some tube carracter and built in low cut, an opto compressor and transformer balanced output..

it looks good with its solid feel aluminium chassis, LED meters for gain, gain reduction and output level

the sound is, no surprice, just like the old TubeMP wich I'm guessing most people know these Days. but with the added low cut and compression, you get a ready to work with result in minutes. something that fits the track without too much work .. great for lineing bassguitar

the only thing i dont like is the "gain +20db" switch, wich appear to be a 20db pad relabeled and functioning backwards...?...I dont get it...so if you need more gain for your vocal mic, you press "gain+20db" instead of using pad when your signal is too hot...same thing really, but backwards campared to almost ever mic pre I've ever used

it might not compete with the "boutique" pre's costing 20 times as much, but all in all, a great Product at a small price

..I hope people "get it" so it doenst go out of production like the old Tube-Pac...
