abunda_amazon_reviews I purchased this less then 30 days ago and took it to our first show in Alabama. it started to cut out during my solo with it and it did it several times before Channel #2 shut down completely. I am on the road constantly and can not be without using both channels for two saxophones. Ordered a new on of the older models which I have as a single mic unit for years without any problems.

After the tube change thing is thing is a real bargain, it adds depth, texture and warmth to anything you run through it....voice, instruments.... master tracks....even post-mastering....if you work in the digital samples realm....consider using this thing to add realism to your sample pallette. Alternatively.....in post this thing adds a great deal to tracks that have been squashed by processing......put it in to the blue tube and you'll be surprised what you hear.......i love this thing!!!!!!;;Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;This thing sounds like a 5;;Benjamin Stone;;/gp/customer-reviews/R1X01VJSF48F0B/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00E7IP8YE;;;sure it amplified, but it also added a bad hiss.
