## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it be good for use with my Focusrite 2i2 interface(i will only be using it for vocals)?**
A: I think it will be OK ... although since you already have preamps in the Focusrite you have to be careful about levels. If you try it I would use the 212 at a low setting  (primarily for the interface) and use the VTB for level. You can use one preamp into another ...I do it all the time, but experiment with the balance between the two. As far as the VTB goes it is great for vocal considering the price.

**Q: Can someone give me the spec on the power adapter?  I've lost mine and trying to find the correct replacement.  I need the voltage/amps/watts etc.**
A: We have the correct replacement adapter here:https://www.amazon.com/12VAC-Power-Supply-JoeMeek-StudioProjects/dp/B00VS02072/ref=sr_1_6?m=A3QYKZ7LXW9O3&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1484333685&sr=1-6&keywords=12vac

**Q: Is it rack mountable?**
A: Yes, but the rack mounting kit is not included. That's a separate accessory.

    making recordings so much clearer
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013*

The difference is amazing. This gives so much warmth to our recordings. It is carnival season in Antigua and Barbuda and the studio is flooded with artist preparing music for the summer festival. being able to get the right sound at the point of recording instead of adding effects afterwards has saved us countless hours. This is worth every penny. thank you.

    Great for home studio!
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014*

Wasn't sure this will give me the sound I wanted but it has made a great difference! normally I run a preamp on the input channel on Cubase but this made he mic sound much more present and clean. I still think it worked better on my bass so I am going to get something else for vocals but its a great and very well built preamp that i would recommend to anyone with a nice home studio looking for a all round preamp!

    A good value but don't expect too much
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2009*

You're not going to find a better preamp in this price range. That said, don't expect this to have the same effect on your recordings as a thousand dollar piece from UA or Grace. The difference between its all tube and solid state settings is subtle, but it's nice to be able to blend your choice between the two. I recorded the same vocal line through the same mic with the VTB set to the tube side of the knob, and then again without the VTB and spent the better part of an hour a/b'ing the two tracks to see the difference. There is a LITTLE more warmth in the VTB, and it shows a little bit clearer, but it's not going to blow you away. A job where the VTB really shines though, I have a Duncan performer soundhole pickup for my acoustic that has always had problems direct to PA that sounds great with this added to the signal chain
