Gainstation 1 AD : My backbone for proffesional Voice Recordings

I use this mainly for voice a few times for clean electric guitars. I saw it during a course in a recording studio with optical ADAT, and have never regretted the purchase. It is great that you can mix clean gain, tube gain and output freely. It is also easy to change imped. The Leds are clear to see and it is really easy to use.

It is really great sounding. You can extreme linear gain without distortion or you can choose more tube amp to get the "warm" feeling. With this Preamp you don't need an U87 to get awesome recordings, because the gain is so great.

Pro:

- Awesome sound with strong and clear gain

- tube and transistor amp

- easy to use

- Very good manual(!)

- Digital output is good

Cons:

- A bit heavy for use outside of studio

- Gets quite warm, since a class A Amplifier is inside.
