Have few of these about 2yrs now, good transparent sounding, we used it many times live and for recording. for live use I dont recomend these, because about 3 time it failed - the jack inputs are not secured to the chassis, they are only PLUGGED into the circuit board without solder joint, so they came loose - no signal. Easy fix just unscrew the cover and plug then back to the circuitboard, but for live use that is UNACCEPTABLE. I´m now switching to palmer PAN04 - those are little more expensive but truly built like a tank.
