Description:

Talk about a sleeper! Here's an 8-channel mixer with lo-z and hi-z inputs that sounds incredible for bass, keyboards, drum machines, vocals and most anything else you can throw at it. The preamps (you've got 8 by the way!) sound wonderful and fatten and warm up your signal with a relatively low amount of extra noise and have preamp outs on each channel. Crank up the channel volume and that channel distorts in a really musical and useful way with raunchy but musical square (ish) wave clipping. Another plus for this machine is the fantastic spring reverb that is built in. Apply it to any channel and add some really killer old-school spring reverb to your recordings and performances. This is a great piece for any studio that wants to add some vintage color, drive and reverb to his or her music.
