Feature:
I really like the features of this little device. I can use it with or without the 48V phantom power for my mic, simply by pressing the button. It has a button for 20db boost, and I really like the mechanical (analog) control it gives me outside of my computer sound setup. No mouse needed to set the gain or output.
Quality:
Outstanding quality, build, fit, and finish.
Value:
I would say it's well worth the money. I actually paid list because I needed it, and it's well worth the money.
Desirability:
It's not something you might think you want until you have it. It's not a sexy product by looks or specs, but by sound, you can't beat it!
Sound:
Amazing little instrument. I bought this because I needed a quick way to connect my shock mounted voice mic to a sound card that didn't provide the 48V phantom power needed to run the mic. What I got was incredibly enhanced sound that really extended the feature set of my mic system.
The warm tones and clean sound alone, make this a great piece of equipment for the money.
Support:
Haven't needed the support yet.
Overall:
Don't see trading it, but I might buy more of them.

Feature:
Gain, Output, Phase Reverse, etc... Limiter has no controls, only on & off. Not very useful, as it sounds unnatural.
Quality:
Well built and sturdy. Not really road worthy, but not designed for that. I was skeptical bout how "good" the stock preamp tube was. It's probably some OEM 12AX7A, labelled Behringer. So I replaced it with a Sovtek 12AX7LPS. Turns out the stock tube sounds much warmer & smoother.
Value:
At that price...
Desirability:
Already own it. Several similar problems on the market, by Art & dbx. Behringer is known to be rip offs, but this time, did Art rip off dbx or vice versa?
Sound:
Nice tube tone. Running this for electric guitar. Between external preamp & the guitar amp. Gives the solid state preamp/amp a nice warm tube tone. However, this is not a overdrive box, gives a nice crunch when cranked, but not wat would expect from a tube amp. Set clean, it nicely warms up the input signal into a nice thick glassy tube amp tone.
Support:
Never needed to. Haven't own this long enough to warrant it as well. I wasn't happy with one of their products I bought in the past, and the dealers allow for exchange to other products, no questions asked.
Overall:
Well worth the money just for guitar alone. Several other good reviews on it running as a mic preamp.
