Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is touted as a good sounding, inexpensive real tube preamp. At first it was OK. It was noisy (hiss not hum), something several others have experienced, but not everybody. For vocal work I had to use a noise gate after it to keep the hiss down. Then one day it stopped working altogether--no audio was coming out although the tubes were still lit. I sent it in to Electro Harmonix with a $30 check, as instructed. I got it back in about two weeks. Lo and behold, it didn't work. Audio is coming through now, but at a very low level and with a signal to noise ratio so bad it's unusable. That's fine. Mistakes happen. But when I e-mailed them to say the unit hadn't been fixed, I was told that I just didn't know how to hook it up correctly, and I could call an Electro Harmonix engineer who would explain that to me. Not "sorry for the inconvenience" or "sorry we didn't get it right--send it back in and we'll fix it," but "you don't know what you're doing." Did I mention that I used this thing regularly in my studio before it broke? So there you go. If you like to gamble, give it a shot. You might get a good unit. The odds of getting decent support aren't as good.
