"Great transparent and clean pre amp."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is a great pre amp and I would highly recommend it. I am probably going to get another one of these pres with an API lunchbox.
Sound
Great clean sounding pre. Use it a lot for bass, elec gtr, acoustic gtr, kick and snare. It really has been my go to pre and I use it every session without fail. Again it's clean, you can add a little color with the VHD knob but for the most part it's transparent.
Features
Pretty simple, input and output gain knobs, 48v, and pad and switch for instrument. Kind wish it had inserts.
Ease of Use
Easy to use, turn knobs for more gain, VHD to taste!
Quality
Great build, this really is a quality pre.
Value
Kinda spendy, but hey it's a true SSL piece.
Manufacturer Support
Even though SSL is headquartered in England their support is always very quick. Usually I get a response the next day. Also the offices in NY and California where very helpful when I was in a bind.
The Wow Factor
SSL need I say more. Research the company and you will want this pre!
