Had a Art tube Mp years ago and it hummed . Took a chance on this one and it still has a hum at certain settings. All this is a glorified amplifier with beautiful knobs that I overpaid for. I paid 150 plus tax when you can get one new for 100 if I didn't go for a payment plan. I'm not saying don't buy or its trash. Im just saying its noisey and some setting may be invisible to the ear or all in your mind. I'm just saying make sure its what your looking for.

This is a great unit, the tube makes it what it is

Whether you use this tube unit for vocals or for miking a guitar, you can't go wrong. It will interface with any amp, has enough phantom power to run virtually any mike, and you can adjust and contour your sound to your liking with it. I particularly like the fact that it is small and unobtrusive, will fit into my cable/mic bag easily, and it is plenty rugged. It's not overly sensitive to anything, but I recommend not using cheap microphone cables to interface, it doesn't like bad connections any more than I do. I'm running an MXL 67v and a Shure through it, outputting to 2 amplifiers, and this device has performed flawlessly.

I use this on my mic line and it adds a nice tune color to any mic. Does great on condenser and dynamic microphones.

This ART MP/C tube preamp/compressor is perfect if you don't have a lot of money or acquired technical know how with gain stage dynamics, compression/limiting/sustain, and preamp before main amp interplay. The unit will definitely up your working knowledge of tube amp tonality even if your main amp this feeds is solid state. ART has put a studio grade processor in the grungers garage...

I was very surprised. I used this as a DI for bass during live tracking of a full band, and the bass sounded great!
