Great product, nice clean sound, no distortion until you reach high levels.

every fucking preamp video i watch they dont show how it sounds wtf, would it kill you to plug a fucking guitar into it or a microphone so we can hear it. sorry for bitching guys but this grills my nads.

@ganjaking187 The voiceover was recorded using the pre-amp. Please keep clean language on your posts though to prevent from having your comment removed.

[LastStopReviews]

@XxiCrAzXxi It's just apart of the free music in iLife, so i don't believe you can find it online anywhere to download.

I agree with the angry guy above: why the heck would you not A/B it? Telling us "I used it" tells us nothing, as we are not familure with your mic or the rest of your signal path.

Listing the connections is all you do here, one glance at a picture of it tells us that.

It's a piece of AUDIO equipment. That means we came to this page to LISTEN to it. That fact that there is NO sound demo of the thing tells us either you're hiding something, or it's a piece of junk. I was gonna buy this thing, later on today, when GC opened up, but obviously you're already rich and don't need anymore customers... oh, well ...

My experience: It sounds fine with a relatively high output mic, and a relatively loud sound source. But on quieter sources and / or with lower output mics (most dynamics) turning up the preamp gain leads to audible hiss. This is of course true with any preamp running near the top of its gain range, but it seems like this pre needs to be run cranked more often than others I own which have similar published gain specs. YMMV. 2 channels is definitely a useful feature in some situations.

it doesnt matter if we dont hear you talk at all..as long we HEAR how the preamp sounds....damn!!

He's right, though. Audio examples would be nice, there's little to none on this product. Not neccesarily your fault, but still enough to cause major butthurt on the internet.

What an aggravating voice, Sounds like a tin robot. So much for any experience with 'sound'.
