E530 : Great rack tubes preamp

3 years ago

Very good and uncomplicated preamp. Even for a beginner it is easy enough to understand all the features and to dial in the good sounds. I primarly use the clean channel with my pedalboard, it takes pedals really well. I run it for recordings direct into audiointerface with Cab simulation and all the modulation effectw within the DAW.

The only con is that the knobs (channel switch, Lo/High gain switch) are a bit stiff and uneven. And there is no light indicator for a booster knob, so it is not easy to see if it's engaged or not.
