I had to wait a long time for this beast but it was worth it. When I finally received it, it had a bent rack ear due to bad handling by the transport company. Luckily, Thomann did a good job in swiftly exchanging it with another one, so no complaints there.
As for use, it's simply a big step up if you work in the box. The EQ is stunning, and I especially like the Width functionality.
In short, quality doesn't come cheap, but this is really a good investement if you're serious with your sound.
