Following with interest. Can you be more specific?

Now, you still have to get the levels and gain structure right all the way through your signal chain. If you don’t, you’ll get some combination of noise and / or that shrill “gain too high” sound. Just like every other preamp. But if you set the gain structure appropriately, it should be whisper quiet and flat.
Thx.

Just rented one for 30 days from a local store. My guitars sound much more natural through it. More to come.
