In short, super convenient, easy to use, simple disassemble (to change the lamp according to el'utilisation we want to do). The only thing this preamp doesn't do is overload gracefully; clipping the input produces a harsh and spitty sound, so this isn't a preamp you can use to create musical 'dirt' once you've passed the 'warm' stage. As long as you keep an eye on that input clip LED, though, you'll find the ART Tube MP/C makes a versatile and musical-sounding front end. The rotary control to the right of the meter is what makes this unit a bit different. Here you'll find 15 different switchable voicings (plus a neutral position), each using varying degrees of tube warmth, limiting, and subtle EQ. The presets are: Neutral, Vocal, Guitar, Bass, E-Keyboard, E-Guitar, Vocal (warmth), Valve, Multi, Vocal (warmth and OPL), Acoustic Guitar (warmth and OPL), Piano, Bass, Acoustic Guitar (OPL), Percussion, and Limit. When the signal level is high enough to approach clipping, the green power LED turns red, though this also signifies that the limiter is operating when OPL is activated. This quality product, in the form of a case that inspires confidence in its strength, provides a quite satisfactory. Colored sounding but not in a bad way very decent and the tube is fine. Don't waste money switching it out. The sound is somewhat like a gritty tone that is not real high quality but in no way does it sound bad. It is like the blue tube or the old blue tube presounus tube amp pre amps that you could get for about 150.00.

The sound is catastrophic, a grain of espce unpleasant o you feel that the sound is off, there are holes in the lower, like in low-mdiums, also a little in the treble. In short it is ugly. The gain is really low, there is a rhausseur ok but ds you push a little knobs, a breath ... I have not changed the lamp, because for a device like that the whole investment is useless I think Naturally, before trying out the preamp, the first step was to prise off the lid and take a look inside. As expected, the valve (in this case a 12AX7/ECC83 dual triode) is accompanied by a significant amount of solid circuitry, including a dual op‑amp and a handful of transistors, so I suspect that a low noise, solid‑state front end is being fed through a valve buffer stage biased to add a noticeable dose of valve coloration. This is fair enough, as it's not easy getting an all‑valve front end to run very quietly, even when you have a lot more money than this to throw at the design. Then when you want to search for a particular grain, color or simply refine their trimming, they move on.Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered. I have not tried many PRMPS before, but I have tried a lot since when same, and there is no comparison.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows: You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.After using expensive valve preamps when recording in studios, I was after a cheaper version for my home studio; something that would add warmth to a bland digital signal. While it's primary application is to be used with a microphone, the Tube MP Studio V3 can also function as a direct box - impedance matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it. The design of the Tube MP Studio V3 allows it to add warmth and fatness to a signal while maintaining low-noise. Input: 1/4″ TRS unbalanced (1meg Ω), XLR female balanced. Output: 1/4″ TRS unbalanced (600 Ω), XLR male balanced (<300 Ω)

It does not generate breath and respects the sound of the instrument while "rounding" in-slightly-warming sound, in a good way. Overall the sound has a solid, comfortable feel to it, with plenty of detail but no rough edges. The frequency response is quoted as 10Hz-30kHz (±0.5dB), and the equivalent input noise is -129dBA on the mic input, which is comparable to what you'd expect from a well-designed mixer mic preamp. The dynamic range is typically 100dB and the output level on the XLR is a very healthy +28dBu, which should keep even the greediest soundcard input happy. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offeredIn common with a lot of budget valve equipment, the usual '250V DC plus' lethal high tension power supply has been replaced by a much lower voltage system, which does affect the valve's overload characteristics, as well as reducing the overall headroom, but if done properly, this approach can yield very pleasing results. In fact, the power comes from an external 9V AC supply, but I assume a voltage multiplier is being used somewhere, otherwise the maximum possible DC supply would be around 25 Volts, and the 48V phantom power switch on the front panel proclaims that this clearly isn't the case. Judging By Appearance this thing is absolutely amazing, although it's really a preamp for a mic, I use it all the time with my guitar. I have a line6 spider2 amp and a digitech gnx3 which i use to get my distortion sounds, and i used to think they sounded great and very close to the originals before i plugged my guitar into this thing. It contains a 12AX7 tube, the kind of tube in most highend preamps of your favourite marshall, mesa, fender etc. This unit turns the digital models in your processor or amp into the real things that play just like the tube amps. I dont know why more people dont try it. I found the ART Tube MP Studio V3 to be a versatile and sweet-sounding little mic preamp/DI box. While it might not have the finesse of some of the more up-market, elite models that use high-voltage tube circuitry, it is rather nicer than the preamps found in most small mixers, and tonally a lot more versatile. I'm not a big fan of presets, but these do the job well without detracting from the musicality of the sound, and there's enough choice to suit just about anything you might want to record. With very respectable capacitor mics coming right down in price, you can now get a sound at source that rivals that available from top‑end professional equipment. And with the addition of this very affordable tube preamp, you can go one step further and create your own valve mic sound, or plug in a regular DI box and 'tubify' it. Conclusion Used for 1.5 years it has chandeliers, I Taté quite then some more expensive model of another brand that are often disappointing. In the range above must know what one is looking ... some preamp sound card is disappointing to the mp tube seems cleaner and does not add a dubious color. It's good for started, I had the chance to connect over good micro (AT33, u87 ...) and I was not disappointed, even when the microphone was "too good" for this pre amp.
