I will use it until it dies or become obsolete. I will always review my options when spending my money. I like that it works every time I turn it on, every time. I do not like the shape feature.
Sound
I find the product stable. The sound is clear. For studio work it is a little to smooth not crisp, a little EQ helps. A $99 box is not where I would look for a specific sound. This device is a tool and it is only as good as the user, it gets the job done for me. I find it not load enough for live sound with out isolation headphones. When using this equipment master volume should never exceed 80% on all outputs in the stream. I listen through a pair of AKG K702s or my Shure SCL4s Phil D. Studio owner.
Features
This is a pretty bear bones peace of equipment. The meters help keep things at a realistic level and clean. I would say loose the shape button and the inject. A -db button set to 60%+ - would be useful.
Ease of Use
This unit is pretty simple. If there is more then one jack and it can be made very complex.
Quality
I give it no bad marks on construction.
Value
The price is good. I only compare apples to apples.
Manufacturer Support
I give them a 10 for not needing to call. Is great customer service great, if you need to call them every time you turn your equipment on.
The Wow Factor

Samson C-Que8 Customer Review

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
sounds okay. the special eq curve thing is of very limited use, as it boosts certain fixed frequencies. might work on one song then not the next.
Features
lots of ins and outs on front and backside.
Quality
crappy pots! my main volume pot crackles like a biatch and the sound will 'distort' every so often, requiring me to tug on the main pot to get it to go back to normal. this is VERY inconvenient as i'm using this for a drummer who is playing to a click. in the middle of a song, the sound might suddnely distort and he'd have to either suffer through hearing loss or interrupt his flow and try and fix the amp. gotta try and get this thing serviced, i guess..
Value
its cheap, and has a pretty good feature set. but right now, the questionable quality would make me hesitate.
Manufacturer Support
well, calling the company was absolutely useless-- couldn't get a live person on the phone. got an email response after abt 2 days, and they gave me rma/service info. i've yet to contact, but it just sucks when your gear breaks down, dont it?
