Joemeek three Q Pro Channel Strip EQ / Compressor / Mic Preamp the perfect link between your music and your computer! Joemeek three Q Pro Channel Strip Details The Joemeek three Q is the perfect link between your music and your computer. It will bring out the best qualities or your music by giving it the gloss of a professional recording studio, at a fraction of the cost! Built into a compact ½ rack chassis, we used the same Burr- Brown IC's for the Mic Pre that you'll find on our more expensive studio channels. We then added an extremely musical EQ section and an optical Compressor, for that signature Meek sound. With inputs to accept everything between microphone and instrument levels, the three Q sounds much larger than it's size!

mooseherman's review Great preamp for cheap Joemeek Three Q This is a channel strip which contains a preamp, compressor and EQ. Basically it has all you need, and it's made by Joe Meek, who make consistently awesome gear. This is no exception as it contains a wonderful solid-state analog pre-amp. There are XLR connections as well as 1/4 connections, though I only use the XLR for microphones. It's one space on a rack which is great as it saves you some space for more pres or compressors or whatever. UTILIZATION Using this channel strip is really easy overall. It has an input gain knob which is pretty self-explanatory. One thing I noticed about it which was unfortunate was a lack of phantom power as well as phase reverse, so either plug-in that phase and get an external phantom power supply, or look elsewhere! You can decide whether to engage the compressor and the EQ via two switches, one for each. If you do decide to use them, the compressor has a knob for compression, attack and release so it's got a healthy amount of control over the sound. The EQ is four-band. Overall that makes for a lot of control. SOUND QUALITY The sound of this pre amp is really good. I couldn't believe it was as cheap as it was when I tried it. Mostly I liked it for the sound of the pre-amp in general, but I really also liked the way the compressor and the EQ worked. Having the low end fixed the way it is would be frustrating if I didn't have consistently good sounds coming out of it. The compressor is not the hardest or the most comprehensive compressor out there but it'll work well for a variety of uses especially if you're working with rappers or other vocalists that you know will need it from the get-go. It's a really transparent channel too with I think everyone can appreciate. OVERALL OPINION Overall I think this is an incredible bargain really. It's far from the best but for what I do.
