"Great little preamp"

I bought this so I could record while travelling because bringing my full size interface isn't sensible and this will fit in my guitar case. I will say I'm quite impressed the sound quality and the options. My expectations weren't extremely high, but it actually comes very close to the quality I get out of my much more expensive full size interface.The preamp options are also excellent, the Valve setting really warms up the sound of direct guitar and I think I will be able to get better than demo quality recordings with it. I haven't put it through it's paces on vocals yet but I think it will replace my other interface for guitar tracking. For $60 it really is a good buy and zZounds was super fast with the shipping

"Great tube tone"

I ordered this preamp to warm up my guitar tone. I placed the preamp at the end of my effects pedals and connected it to a solid state amp. The amplifier had a great clean sound but the overdrive just sounded bad even with pedals. But with the Behringer preamp it sounds great. The overdrive has much more character and it just makes the entire sound significantly better. I would recommend this unit for anyone who wants to improve the sound of their solid state amp. If I had anything to change it would be more user customizing. Maybe some onboard eq adjustments would be nice.
