Product Review While you may look at the price you probably are shocked at first. The thing is that if I had the money I'd buy two. The best part about this is the compressor and the EQ. Connections wise it's super featured, you can insert, you can come out pre-EQ. OR you can insert a new Preamp pre-EQ. Soundwise super amazing tubes, but NOT dark, more clear and clarity with no harshness.

Product Review The core offers rich, warm clarity on vocals, and has absolutely INCREDIBLE tone. I always dreamed about a voxbox, but it's been just out of reach in my budget, but the core has proven to provide what I wanted in my sound. It'll remain a staple in my studio.

Product Review I’ve always wanted to own Manley gear. This was my first opportunity to step into it and I was not disappointed. I pair it with my Tube tech Cl 1b and it sounds amazing. I personally picked this over the Avalon 737. Even during this pandemic music production is keeping my happy.

Product Review I have to say that the Manley Core is a must for your studio. It is well constructed, and looks great, but it’s not the reason I love it! Words cannot justify the sound! But the core gives you warmth and body! I use it for vocals and bass guitar! If you’re a vocalist, it will pull your words out for you! I have several preamps, but it will always be my go to for vocals!

Product Review Just got my Manley and it’s definitley my favorite unit in my rack so far!! The smoothness that it captures on voices is 2nd to none!! I recommend that serious engineers to get you one!! Writing, Producing and recording such great artist as Keith Sweat & Teddy Riley and so many more using the Manley has made my room a favorite location to get the sound they are looking for!! I love it and look forward to capturing mixes that bring me #1 charting singles from the sound quality this beast brings !!

Product Review Come on this should be a no brainier! Basically your getting the Voxbox, but half the price. Finally project studio owners and creatives on a budget can enter into the world of Manley! Exceptionally built, beautiful design, and made like a tank! I think I could drop this thing from the my 2nd floor window and it wouldn't make a scratch! LOL....... Easy to use, professional sounding, and a ton of character! Manley definitely hit a home run with this one!

Product Review This is the BEST channel strip ever. After going through several mic pre's and channel strips, I've finally found the one for me. The tone, the warmth, and not to mention the clarity. This thing is worth EVERY cent and dollar it cost. Manley has great with this piece as all of their equipment.

The "Must Have" mic pre!!!!

Product Review This mic pre is one of the best I have ever used and I have used all of the "holy grail" mic pres and this one if not added to that list should be immediately. I have worked in the music industry for years with greats such as Michael Jackson, teddy reily, Brian Michael cox, usher and the list goes on and on. The compression,eq on this thing is absolutely killer it works amazing on everything!!! Got a bass? Plug it in and thump away, got a guitar? Plug it in and get some of the crispiest tone's that you can imagine, vocals? This thing can handle anything you throw at it get some of the smoothest vocals you've heard from a mic pre hear sounds you didn't even know you could. I will absolutely never part with this pre it has become the staple of my vocal chain!!! Trust me do yourself a favor and buy this thing if you gotta pick up extra shifts at work do it. Cut grass and trim trees? Do it. You will not be dissapointed!!!
