The best part about this unit IMO is that it has a way to focus on what you are hearing depending on how you tweak the settings. For example, when I have an airy or breathy artist, I like to throw a little low end on their vocal. This pream's EQ allows accurate focus before or after the compressor and vise versa (like most preams on the market with this feature) but with specific detal and knob range that is very sensitive. what you tweak is what you hear and the knobs feel really good. No noise at all.

All in one, I now have two of these and love the all in one design know as a channel srtip...sounds focused and crisp, love the insert before the compressor allowing other devices to borrow comp and eq bypassing preamp....compact too 1iu space in rack
