Feature:
It has everything one needs and competes solidly with its counterparts from Presonus, dbx, and the other usual suspects. What it has the others do not is 30 dBs of headroom! And their is no better compressor on any channel strip in the price-range. The front-mounted 1/4" instrument input is a great addition for warming-up piezo pick-ups, electric guitars and even keyboards.

Quality:
I have owned one since 2000 and have had no problems whatsoever. I use it in my home studio and take it with me to other studios out of preference. It has travelled well.

Value:
Fantastic price-to-quality ratio.

Desirability:
I have enjoyed my VC6Q so much, I am purchasing a second. Brilliant piece of work.

Sound:
For those of us who have heard enough of the rather sterile digitally recorded vocals, and instruments for that matter, this marvellous piece of kit is not only a lovely change, it is a must! It offers a "colour" to all of one's recordings while retaining all of the subtle nuances of the moment. The word "warm" springs to mind, but is nowhere close to comprehensive. Clear, fat and spot-on.

Support:
Owner manuals are available on-line should one find they are separated from it whilst working away from homebase. Other than that, I cannot comment.

Overall:
I believe I have said it all. It probably sounds as though I work for the company, but of course I do not. I simply believe in this product. Someday when I can spend $2-3000 on a mic preamp, I MAY find something I prefer. Till then, consider me a more than satisfied customer. Joe Meek was a trail-blazer; so is this channel strip. It serves his name well.
