This is a very noisy device, totally non-useable as a studio preamp. It has a pronounced "hiss" that is present and constant, even with the gain and drive turned all the way down. Also produces a 60 Hz buzz, i am guess due to a lack of internal shielding. Works well for live sound where the hiss is much less of a problem... especially nice for warming up and boosting low electro-acoustic guitars, or for smoothing out live vocals. All in all, not worth the asking price but a decent live preamp if you pick it up on sale/clearance.
