Wow... thanks guys for unshifted opinions.... though actually we hire up all our customers - when they use our stuff....thus - with adv purposes...

So, we have updated our VELVET channel strip at last, after more than three years of production. Now this device got 5-th tube as pentode based powerful output stage loaded by dual transformer balanced output.
As earlier, preamp and leveler are copy our Affinity a2 preamp and Solution S2 leveler which both became reputable due to usage/reviewing by our customers during years.
Passive Bell EQ on top of device with gentle correction character... passive is passive, this EQ never been intended for crazy effects like "phone voices", and like mentioned a powerful pentode output stage, a gives some new voicing.... like new strings on guitar

And this device has point-to-point internal wiring now, on metal chassis, with no PCB in signal path, at last, though this wiring take a lot of time and labor. But...... errrrr.... we do ....

Thus, VELVET became part of older product line including all balanced Mirror preamp, VARIS variable gain compressor, Tubescream distortion box and Reality summing mixer.
