A Tube Channel Strip for a Hundred Bucks!
The ART Tube MP/C packs a warm-sounding tube preamp and and a soft-knee optical compressor in a tiny chassis - at an incredible price! The Tube MP/C gives you an XLR mic input, as well as an instrument input, a 20dB gain boost, and a low-cut filter. The independent compressor circuit is bypassable, and boasts threshold, as well as speed and slope controls. You even get your choice of XLR output or unbalanced TS. All this flexibility means you can also use the Tube MP/C as a re-amper or a DI! If you need an affordable, great-sounding channel strip, look no further than the ART Tube MP/C.
