Presonus makes okay stuff, but I have to tell you...I'm just not a fan of channel strips. It's just more knobs and functions to mess things up with, and any time a manufacturer puts four things in a 1RU box for one low price you can be sure that all four things are going to be mediocre at best. I'd pass on it.

Looks like their TubePre, EQ3B and COMP16 all in one... Though I might be wrong. But the price tells me I can't be far off. All 3 of those separately are so-so. This channel strip wouldn't be something I'd want to get.

For $100 more, get the Eureka channel strip. That thing rocks, especially if you replace the opamps with a pair of Burr Browns. I use it for snare, acoustic guitar and vocals, and it's awesome. A ton of headroom, and the variable impedance switch is great for using ribbon mics.
