tube fuzz
(4 out of 5) by James J. Christopher II on Jun 25, 2006 (Boise, ID USA)I bought this microphone preamp to use between my electric guitar and a 20W practice amp. It adds alot of warmth, and when properly overdriven, gives a great fuzz sound to my playing. I have a friend that also actually uses his to power a microphone! wow!

Great for the beginning musician
(4 out of 5) by A. Pinnick on Apr 18, 2007 (College Station TX)While I couldn't recommend this product for someone wanting to do professional recoding, I am, overall, very pleased with it. I have a cheap mic, and this preamp dramatically improved the sound, and reduced backgroud hum. I really like the seperate imput and output controls, and the ability to run either 1/4 or XLR inputs is nice. It does lack some of the features that I have seen on more expensive models, and most of the tech is solid state. But again, for the price it is a nice little addition to your home studio.
If you are a beginner that just wants to play around with music recording/production, this is a simple to use product that will work great.

Wonderfull!!
(5 out of 5) by K. Olson on Jan 7, 2008 (Western WA)This is a not a super high end preamp. If you take some time and learn its functions, it works very well. I use it for some live vocals that needed a little more presence. If you are getting noise then your not using it right, or you got one that was damaged in shipping.
For the price I would have to say This is WELL worth it.

suggested improvements
(4 out of 5) by Dennis Hinkamp on Nov 5, 2007 (Logan, Utah USA)I like the price and it does warm up a relatively low-priced powered mic but is it asking too much to have a simple ON/OFF switch? Why do you have to unplug it to turn it off?

Excellent Addition for Musicians on a Budget
(5 out of 5) by H. A Tervo on Apr 27, 2009I have used a pair of these with both a pair of Audio-Technica 3035s and most recently with a Rode NT-4 Stereo mic recorded onto a Fostex MR8 4 track deck. Hardly state of the art equipment; however, the combination of the Rode NT-4 and these units gives my oboe a nice warm sound that I have striven for years with home equipment to create. I am considering purchasing another pair so that I can use both sets of mics for live recording of recitals with the AT 3035s being placed in the back of the hall and the Rode NT-4 in the front. Condenser mics need phantom power and these units provide it well.
