zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Sweeten your sound with a Joemeek mic/instrument preamp! The half-rack ThreeQ packs in an optical compressor, 3-band EQ with swept mid, and 1/4" insert I/O.
Overview
The Joemeek threeQ is like having one channel of a professional recording studio in a small box. It takes a microphone or instrument, amplifies it, compresses and equalizes it so it's ready to be recorded. Simple to use, yet extremely powerful, the threeQ will bring out the best in any microphone or instrument and give the gloss of a professional studio production to all your performances.
