Buzz Audio ARC Analogue Recording Channel

Regarding the Buzz Audio ARC-1.1:



Anyone have any experience using this to track vocals? Does its pre sound as good as the MA2.2? I think I read it uses the preamp from the SSA1.1 ...

Anyway it looks like a cool product, but how does it stack up to other channel strips in this price range is the real question...

The ARC is sick!
The Pre will not be less nice than the MA2.2 on vocals.

With the ARC you get a clean but fat pre wit a realy great hi shelf to push the air a bit, you will realy enjoy the compressor because it realy rawks on vocals!

Best recording channel that I know of - though I don't agree with Nütty about the pre - I love the MA2.2 - it's actually the best pre I know IMVHO - for vocals or whatever you track - this doesn't mean the ARC-pre is bad (especially vocals will sound great through the ARC) the MA2.2 is just stellar - really up there with the best.

thanks Jo...
would you choose the MA2.2 over the John Hardy M-1?
and would you recommend the transformer option (MA2.2TX)?

thx

sorry I have no experience with the John Hardy pre at all - so I can't comment. Regarding the tranny - I got one with the tranny option but I heard Tim has a new transformer for his actual MA2.2 - I actually consider buying another one with the new tranny, so I got 2 flavors going - acutally 3 because you can still use the output without tranny - very noiz!
