My opinion is:
IT ROCKS!!!

Sounded awesome on the snare, we could get from clean to fat and dirty out of the pre. Guitars came to live through that pre and it would even add grit to the tone, if so desired.

Gimme, gimme, gimme... Can't wait until they are available.

Also, another Chandler "little wonder", which I found out by accident: The TG-channel with a shotgun mic about 5-6 feet over the drum kit, pointed at the snare, with the input cranked and the output back down. The pre almost sounded like it was compressed, distorted but in a great way. Will be a new "go-to" for drum recording in my book.

I went trough a similar revelation not too long ago, when (the sound of) a broadcast camera with a mounted 416 that was filming the kit in a studio session ended up sounding better than the DAW's drumkit multimic result. Must have been the combination of the shotgun with the cam's internal limiter.

Wie komisch und peinlich für die Tonmeister war es.

I used to record with a G4 laptop as the "room mic", sounded great, but the TG-channel/shotgun combo totally replaces that old set up
