Very smooth sound!
This has a smooth top similar to the 1073. Very nice and easy to get the vibe right!

Loving the sound
As a mic reviewer having the Manley Tube Preamp has been amazing, running even budget friendly mics sound great with this and for the price zero complaints.

Bigger and better
My first UAD plugins. And I racked up on the holiday sales. A perfect time to step my game up. UAD is definitely a game changer, not to mention LUNA .
