REVIEWS
Feature:
Most useful features are the notch and the XLR D.I. output

Quality:
This baby is tough! It's been dropped a few times and it hangs in there!!

Value:
I think the price is right on this compared to other devices I've played through.

Desirability:
This is not a sex appeal item...what kind of questionairre is this. This is about MUSIC!!!

Sound:
I play several different instruments. A Taylor 514CE, which has a factory installed pre-amp, an Aspen Dreadnaught with an LR Baggs active iBeam, and a Yamaha classical with an LR Baggs active iBeam. The trick to this little wonder is understanding how to use it. If you have never used a device like this, know that gain and volume aren't the same thing! Learn the diff...read the manual. Also, take some time to figure out how the notch works. My classical has so much resonance that it feeds back easily, but the notch control is able to zero in and remove it. I do a lot of fingerstyle and classical picking at various places that have their own PA. It also works great with my Fender Acoustasonic SFX. I use it every Sunday morning for leading worship. The mixer board EQ is set flat, and I just run straight from the XLR into the snake. I usually change the battery every Christmas, but I haven't really needed to.

Support:
Have never had to contact the company.

Overall:
Not looking for another product. Don't need one.
