I have been using it several weeks now. Being new with the IR thing, I had some trouble to capture a good recording to develop an IR. After some practice, I am developing some good results. Truthfully, I think the preamp is very good. I get great sounds with this alone. However, add in a little blend of the IR and the end result gets better.
The reverb sounds great. Not over the top like like many, but more natural.
So far I have used this with my Taylor with ES 2 and also a Martin with entry level UST (Sonicore I believe). Both with good results.
The gain is good addition. It is perfect to make up the signal strength when I back of the blend knob of the IR. I don’t like a full strength blend. Sounds way too boxy for my taste and not natural at all. I many stay in the 25-50% range.
Only used once live and this was outside. Really liked the result. Gets better with more experience.
