For some reasons the stereo line (TRS) outs of my Yamaha DGX660 are weak and when split into two TS cables in order to feed to my Focusrite Clarette+ Octopre they sounded very noisy to the point unusable. I tried all sort of boxes and cables and nothing worked. I got this unit used, like new. I don't even know whether the tubes exist in it but did see some lights. I have not even turned the "drive" on. It just worked. I used a TRS to TS from the DGX660 to the BluTube, then ran a pair of XLR cables to the Octopre. The sound is clean and strong and sounded like piano. The build is solid. I also have a Persons HP4 (headphone splitter) and it is also solid. I like them both.

I was a little disappointed, but all is good. I purchased a "used like new"in the box and it was missing a power cord. It is a pretty common one though.Had one from an old comcast router. So, no biggie. Otherwise, I would havehad to send it back. Bet someone took the cord and returned the rest.My savings !!!

Warms up the sound of my voice and keyboard -- added in the T-12AX7-S vacuum tube for a slightly warmer sound - works great!

This thing sounds like a 5,000 dollar pre-amp if you get rid of those crippitycrappity tubes it came with and put some J J's in there instead.what a steal!!!! 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!!!!!!

Much noisier than I expected. It's presence is quite noticeable when using the Rode dynamic mike. For some reason the VU meters doe not register.

Unit came on brand new condition and everything seemed great, received it within 24 hours of purchase, took advantage of the very cheap discount deal. However it did not come with an Australian power lead. See photo. Seems a bit dodgy now, and a bit disappointed. Easy enough to get one but still annoying.

This is a very neat unit that performs well, especially at the price. The 'valve sound' facility is subtle when used in moderation and adds some warmth to the overall sound. I changed the Chinese 12AX7 with a USA Jan Philips 12AT7 and whilst this reduced the amount of gain available it made the sound and control much improved. VU meters are a nice touch to days gone by....only criticism is the abscence of an on/off switch....other than that it's a fine purchase.

It is ok but output quality is not as good as expected.
