CL from Savannah, GA
Quality:
Definitely. You would do yourself a favor and have someone with you when you rack it. No sense in dropping a heavy item that is expensive.
Features:
The level of audio control and the variety of sounds you can run through it. Once you get the hang of the eq you will love it. I haven't ran anything through it yet that sounded bad.
Ease of Use:
Very easy. The manual is very helpful and offers some tips on using. In the end, it even says to simply turn the knobs and learn what it does and I couldn't agree more. It's built to last.
Sound:
Pro quality. This is not just project studio quality. It's the real deal found in many professional studies. While some prefer "coloration" I actually prefer transparency.
Reliability:
Without a doubt. I would recommend to order a spare set of tubes from Avalon when you purchase. That way if they go out you will have them already. I think they're like $80 for a set of 4.
Overall:
Excellent and well made. I have other units that offer plenty of "coloration" but I prefer this one for clarity and punch.
