Good sound for a Great Price
Chad from Racine, WV USA
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Actually, yes. Not sure what happened with my unit, but other than that, it hasn't quit.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
Best feature is the EQ. Not too evasive or destructive in it's sculpting yet, very powerful in what it CAN do. Ease of access to change the tube would be awesome and also not killing the warranty if you do change it out would be great.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
It doesn't get much easier to use. Gotta love actually turning real knobs instead those pictures of knobs on the screen.
Sound
How is its Tone?
Tone is nice but not very colorful. Different tubes definitely change the sound of the unit, but consider the warranty. Change a tube, you've killed the warranty. That's the only thing I DON'T like.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
My unit died after 8 months because the transformer went out. The cool thing is that I shipped it in and had it back within a week. Only cost to me was shipping it in. Great repair.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Great product. Might want to consider a different tube for a different effect or more "color" effect.

Sounds great!

It's very well built, and feels solid. In my home studio of plastic interfaces and computer equipment, this metal beast stands out dramatically.

The I/O options are really great, and the fact that I can hook it directly into my computer with a USB cable is a huge plus.

I'm not a sound engineering expert, but since everything is controlled by knobs on the front, it's easy(and a good deal of fun) to just start twisting until it sounds good!
Sound
How is its Tone?
With all the control it grants, you can really find the perfect sound for whatever type of project you're working on. I'm sure the super-high-end stuff sounds better, but I have a hard time imagining it.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've had it for about 10 months, and it's going strong!

Your general opinion of this product.
Going from the pre-amps built into my USB audio interface(M-Audio Fast Track Pro) to this was a big shock. Although I think M-Audio makes great stuff, the sound is SO much better running through the VoiceChannel. The compression and EQ meant being able to sing my heart out without worrying about the dynamics so much.
