It's definitely a character preamp, and doesn't always work on vocals...but not to many pres do work every time and for every song, I'm fine with it, I have SSL Alpha Channel which is an amazingly clean pre, that is extremely accurate and fast, but you don't need it always, and I have used PRO MPA II over it several times, that's just the way it goes.

People associate price tag with the quality, and quality with application, but it's not really the case.

I think it's more about the character of the unit, that either matches what you need, or you look for something else in your arsenal, I'm NOT selling PRO MPA II for sure, I like that flavor, and it's always a back up for many things, and not a bad one by any means
