4PreSonus Stereo Tube Mic-PreAmp Rocks!  Apr 10, 2008 By Daniel A. Rola "DFR"
If you're looking for a quality pre-amp for a reasonable price, you've gotta check out this Stereo Tube Pre-Amp from PreSonus. I use it with the C-1 large condenser mic from Studio Projects and another AKG large condenser mic. The warmth and clarity that is added by the pre-amp is amazing. Sure, you could spend a few thousand on a high end pre-amp, but that's why you go into the studio right?? I mainly use this for songwriting and demo type recordings. When I'm writing or creating a new arrangement for a song, I usually just record the trax on the go with my MacBook or in my garage on my iMac. It still gives quality and clarity which make for great sounding tracks and gives me a lot of usable material to work with throughout the recording process. I highly recommend this unit for anyone with a home or mobile studio.

4Good sound for the price  Feb 24, 2010 By Chris Paracelsus
After using the bluetube for 2 month. The product is great for the price. I recorded a vocalist, put in a Blue, Bluebird microphone, plug into the bluetube, that went into a Echo Audio Firewire 8. The sounds was outstanding; very natural and clear, I added a notch or two of the tube distortion that really warmed it up. I havn't tested out with a different vacuum tube, but it is very easy to change it. A few things that I didn't like.

1. No power off switch.
2. Knobs could a little bigger for better grip.
3. The bottom could be a little higher for air circulation.
4. Assemble in Communist China that does not support human rights or sustainability.

I would still bought if it cost a hundred more and was made elsewhere. I would also have less guilt. If I knew the facts, I would of gone with a Grace Design M101. If you are working with audio as a small business, a grace design pre-amp would be better investment. If you if your audio is a hobby, student, garage band recording, than the Presonus Bluetube would suffice. Overall, its still a very good pre-amp for recording with plenty of configurations and options. It also works great with a pair of stereo microphone, since it has 2 channels with polarity shift.


5so far so good  Dec 07, 2011 By Edward John Gross
warm it up, bump it up. mic pres, those are the magic words. I've used tubes all my life, can't be without em.


5Great performance for the price  Apr 12, 2011 By R. Cornett
If you're like me, you can't afford the $2,000 & $3,000 pre-amps. If you want a decent sound that won't annihilate your bank account, go with the bluetube.
