ART Tube MP Studio V3: Variable Valve Voicing Is Just What It Sounds Like (Video)

Adding a low-cost, one-channel mic pre is a great way to expand the tonal palette of your simple recording setup. But the ART Tube MP Studio V3 takes that concept one step further with its Variable Valve Voicing circuit. By adding a few preset EQ options — not to mention a variable output protection limiter — the Studio V3 becomes a lot more than a simple preamplifier, and takes one step into channel-strip land.

Other than the OPL, V3, and analog VU, meter, however, the Studio V3 is basically the same as the ART Tube MP. Owen O'Malley put the V3 through its paces to determine if the V3 circuit is really worth the added cost vs the simpler Tube MP.
