Solid but wished for slightly more beastly options

kuyas 04.03.2021

Its very solidly made, feels quality all over.
I'm not yet using it with mics, I'm using it as HW insert in DAW.
Its really nice for gently taming some nasty high end, and for getting peaks under control. The different options are all very subtle to my ears apart from the tone +6db button which is obvious.
It does have a good range of distortion / saturation but I did expect a little more given the 'beast' in the model name. Anyway it gets plenty of use and I'm glad I have it.

Best bang for the buck

TitanAudio 31.10.2021

Picked this up as I was looking for an external pre amp to track an album last minute.

It has an API style circuit and thats what I am used to, so seemed like a good fit.

It sounds fantastic, loads of great onbaord options, and some suoer useful features. Don't think there is anything out that can compete with this in the same price range.

A beautiful and very well priced piece of kit

Ri Mi 28.09.2022

This is a really nice addition to the studio and gives some unique options. Really well built, incredibly sound and certainly worth the investment for anyone looking to add a few subtly spicey options into their recording.
