Awesome preamps, but not very linux friendly

Too much latency on monitoring. Does not have hardware based direct monitoring. Is USB class compliant though, and the pres are very good. I switched to an SSL 2 since I use linux.

Sturdy build and perfect for my small bedroom studio

I like the fact that it's sturdy and can take a beating, and also the ID button can control anything that you want choosing from a number of options such as Dim, Mono, Mono+Polarity, and Scroll Control. I use Mono because that is more useful than scroll control for the genre of music that I produce, where Mono Compatability is essential.
