fivenote from New York
Quality:
metal box, build like a tank
Features:
There's few items like this on the market. I get all my tone from analog pedals and an Award-Session JD10 preamp. I usually go straight to a mixer or power amp. Sometimes I want to do the headphone thing and mix in my mic and mp3 player. It does that plus has the option for sending your mic and instrument to a mixer. It comes with a 12v power supply, but runs just as well off a standard 9v pedal power supply like the one-spot.
Ease of Use:
very easy to use. plug in stuff and go
Value:
A bit pricey at $99, but there's little competition for it out there.

Quality:
Rolls makes good stuff! A nice metal box, solid connectors and the level controls feel like quality pots!
Features:
The best features I've found are the size, portability and ease of set-up. Before I bought this, I was using a Mackie 1202-VLZ mixer to create a "more me" monitoring system, as well as mixing in the occasional click track. On some stages, it was difficult to place the mixer where I could reach it for adjustments. The Rolls unit is so compact, I can place it just about anywhere.
Ease of Use:
As a singing drummer, monitoring has always been a challenge. Getting a proper mix between my mic, the rest of the band, and sometimes a click track required a LOT of equipment to be carried around. The Rolls PM 351 is very easy to set-up and use! The inputs, outputs and jumpers are clearly marked, and the level controls on the front are easy to see and work with.
Value:
A well-built unit, with a good sound and an easy set-up makes the Rolls PM 351 a very good value!
