haha, i have fun overdriving my mackie mixer...the noise level is REAL low, the eq is nice, and the pre's are so clean
all in all im very happy with it, and when i get a larger mixer with Direct outputs i'll be probably getting a larger VLZ series Mackie. or a soundcraft if i could ever afford one.
i was looking at a neve dual channel preamp today...2600 :/
if i only had the money for that.
