We were lent a Manley Voxbox yesterday, and it was so smooth I couldn't believe it. We tried on female vocals, bass drum, percussion... Each time it sounded so pure. I really loved it.

We have a bunch of great solid state pres in the studio that give us a great panel of possibilities. We now really want a tube channelstrip, especially to record vocals, with a great mic and the high end tube smoothness. I mean tube pre, tube EQ (Pultec style I guess), and a tube comp too.

The Tube Tech MEC1A looks great, and seems to be very versatile. The Manley VoxBox is killer and is another choice for us. What about DW Fearn ?

What can you advise me to look to ?
