Better to use your interface preamps

Worst preamp i ever used. The pots have lots of noise. The sound is strange, a cant rear the valve, and appears to sound a little fuller than a line level input ahahah. Sounds a lot less shit when you bypass the eq. Sorry Behringer.

Warm up cold digital

Basically use this preamp to 'warm up' virtual instrument tracks like basses and drums. It does add some noise but buy so doing it adds character so sometimes very cold digital sources. It also looks great in a rack!
