Preamp which ranks in line with current best preamps such Neve, API, A-designs ... etc..
It is easily transportable which adds to its starting value. Clearly many bassists used directly live, by entering and two DI output
Transistor technology. 75db gain notched up with finer adjustment also possible.
Connectors XLR DI (separate transformer Jensen, the top).

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, lights you put the gain and appreciate his :)
There really is no need to book. Just know that the manual advises to start adjusting the preamp pushing the adjustable gain any right (max) and then mount the screen according to what you need. This is what brings more air into the preamp.
For the rest listening levels are checked and voila.

SOUND QUALITY

Colorful colorful preamp. The sound is very thick and very pretty.
It is also so thick that there should be perhaps other preamps more "transparent" if we do a lot of track to track.
The sound is apparently close to Neve. In any case it sounds great on vocals, guitars, percussion.
The DI for the bass is just monstrous. The sound is almost final that's impressive.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months. I had a Chameleon Labs 7602 modified usa before. I like the sound neve. It is much much better than the chameleon to its level (for almost the same price, I speak of the modified course, the chameleon of origin is cheaper).
The chameleon has a very good EQ by against him does not.
Value / normal price in the high-end pro there is not much below 1000 €.
His feature preamp / DI is undeniably great to have two devices in one of the top quality.
I will refer this choice a thousand times. This is I hope to keep as each purchase for me is never final (that is all that expensive anyway). In any case for voice and bass is really great (or incredible).
