History:
Purchase: I was looking for a relatively inexpensive tube preamp, and found this one for $250 CAD at my local music store.
What I Like About This ART TPS: I love the v3 feature - variable valve voicing - because it makes it easy to get set up fast. The unit lets you select what you are recording from the rotary selector and how much tube sound you want. Very nice feature.
What I Do NOT Like About The ART TPS: I don't like having no TRS input on the back... it has a trs/xlr combo on the front for input but only xlr input on the back. Makes it hard to use with my patchbay.
Also.... it's purple....
ART TPS Quality Rating: This thing is heavy! Although most tube stuff is. Luckily the rack ears are strong enough to hold it up without rear support. I have some other ART gear and all of it has been reliable.
Review Summary: Quality unit, worth the money.
Rating of this ART product: 4
