Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
So far so good. Only have about two months but have gotten my best sounding Jazz Bass tone ever with the ISA-ONE. Vocals also Stellar.
Going to use it on a kick drum next with an RE-20 or D12 dynamic should sound great
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
This preamp is increadably flexible as it has a line level input which can be looped thru to an amplifier than use the microphone input to mike the guitar amp and since it has both a seperate line out and microphone output you can send both signals to tape and blend later or mix real time. The switchable impeadance selection is also very nice.
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?
The ISA One is very intuative and easy to use and provides truly first class sound as you would expect from a Rupert Neve designed product
Sound
How is the tone?
I own several high end preamps and this rates up there with any of them. any because of the variable impedance switch you can change the tone as well.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have only owned the ISA-ONE for about two months so time will tell, however it is built like a tank.
