Not so with the 501..!.. It's not as " warm" sounding as the tranny pres, but definately not straight wire either..!.. Good job on this War..When budget allows, I'll definately be considering at least one of these.....Thanks again War for the demo time and good luck with this product..Oh well...have to send it on to the next stop on tour...
I think it would be cool if everyone on the 'tour' put up some audio they recorded with it, with photos and a list of the chain/s they used. That would be cool, more like show & tell .
