VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I purchase 2 of these units and use them in various formation. I have used them in line for analogue to digital transfer of vinyl records and cassettes for warming up analogue to digital transfers to my computer. I have also use it for a DI box to play my bass through. Also works well with guitar to give a warm rich sound. This also is great for a mic preamp and gives a very warm sound for vocal tracks. The ART Tube MP just blows me away especially for the $30 I paid for it. I think I will buy a couple of more at this price. The sound of this unit is unbelievable for the price. Clear, warm, and clean. Feature: At this price I did not expect a power supply to come with it - it did. There is also a 3 year manufacturers waranty with the unit which is unbelievable since most electronic equipment usually has a year warranty or less. You can tell this company is really trying to make a name for themselves. This is a quality unit at a fantastic price. I don't know what else they could improve on for this unit. Ease of Use: Plug and go. Quality: Wow!!! When I ordered this I thought it was going to be in a plastic case. It is in a steel casing and built like a tank. Value: This unit is comparable to units costing $200. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use. The Wow Factor: This unit is pretty sexy with the retro style analogue meter. Overall: This is studio quality equipment at an extremely cheap price and fits in well in the digital realm to warm up whatever you are recording.

Sound: Crisp, clear, yet smooth and rich. True tube preamp with a true tube preamp sound. I don't give high marks easily, but this baby can esily take on 20 times more expensive products in its class. Simply beautiful on acoustic guitar. Feature: All essential are there: gain dial, VU, limiter (great!) and few extras: XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs; metal case Ease of Use: Simple to use; dial in gain, choose output level and off you go. Quality: Professional feel. Metal case,solid and heavy. Value: By far best $30 I have ever spent on a peace of studio equipment (and I have spent $$$) Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: Sleek, elegant design with pro feel. Overall: I will be buying another one very soon for stereo applications. This is a keeper.

Sound: Sounds nice and warm and quiet. Will blow away any cheap built in pre. Feature: Wish the 1/4" out was TRS Ease of Use: Very straign forward. Just plug it in and use. Quality: Was much more solid than I thought it would be. Value: Can't go wrong at this price. If you don't like it for vocals or decide to upgrade it also sounds great as a bass DI. Manufacturer Support: havn't used The Wow Factor: If you are using a lower end board you want one or two of these. It will definatly help your sound. Overall: Plan on using for a long time. It just fits so many roles and is cheap enough where I don't mind using it live.
