As the title goes, this unit offers a plethora of features that are unthinkable at this price range. This fact is not new for the brand, but in this case is probably even more obvious. Illuminated sliders are just an example of that.
I use this unit both as the final unit in my guitar rig and for the overall mixes. The sound is reasonable flat when disengaged (neither full flat, as should be, nor coloring the sound in a way that will survive the final mix, for instance) and the features work as they should. Looks good, is super robust for the studio (and I guess reasonable for the road, even when that is not really relevant, since at this price you could just grab another one if something goes wrong, or be proactive and get it as backup from day one!) and looks super nice.
Illuminated sliders are an absolute must, since renders natural to check your curves at a glance without distracting your workflow. You can volume boost, FBQ, check flat/EQ with a press of a button... you get the picture. Few other options offer this range of features, even at four times the price.
Insofar it had been working flawlessly and I am very satisfied with this unit. A+, no question.
