Sound: Heavy, pretty dark. Very clear- you can dial in tons of drive before getting distortion. Feature: BT has everything you'd need, and the bal/unbal input jacks are very cool. Quality: Seems very solid- apparently you can run extremely hot signals through the input without frying it. Value: Can't get a better two channel preamp for the price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with Presonus, but I'm sure they're nice people. The Wow Factor: Very sexy. The ladies love it- all I need to get lucky is my trusty Blue Tube. BT is a classy looking unit, and it doesn't take up a bunch of space like some of those non rack mounted units with the tube stickin out the top. The sound really suits my taste- which is usually never satisfied. I run all my digital gear through BT to warm things up, and for that sweet mildly dark tone. Overall: I'll use my Blue Tube forever. That may be the kind of stand up guy I am, but the preamp is worth it. I probably won't get another one until it breaks beyond repai, which hopefully is never- I also hope the tube is replaceable. I recommend this unit all the time, too. Unless you really dig an ultra bright tone on everything, this is your next preamp.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: Sounds really nice, a little noisy, but it's tube, so - I have two of them and use them as preamp/warmers for my DAW. does a nice job of thickening up mics for vocals/guitar, and is great for direct on bass. Feature: does everything i need it to. Value: for the money, you can't get much of a better preamp. Manufacturer Support: never needed any The Wow Factor: hey, i bought another one, so it must have done something right. it's a nice looking, 1/2 rack space unit.
