Comments about dbx 386 Dual-Vacuum Tube Preamp:
I bought one of these exact models from Musician's Friend about 7 or 8 years ago. Mine still works perfectly with my Pro Tools LE. Can't say enough good things about it. I run Two Shure 57's,one on each guitar cab and the signal I get from the 386 to Pro Tools is amazing. On the mix I do use a Bombfactory plug in LA2A to up the signal a tad more but without this DBX386 Preamp what I am doing quality wise just wouldn't be possible. A Must. Because the Mic's by themselves are just not enough.
Comments about dbx 386 Dual-Vacuum Tube Preamp:
This is well worth the price for the recording enthusiast that has a good sound pre-recording with good mikes. The 20 dB pad & +48V is great with a condensor mike over a drum kit or low impedence inside the bass shell. The ability to output to analog and digital (s/pdif) is essential. I am very happy with it's warmth and sound, a definite A.
Comments about dbx 386 Dual-Vacuum Tube Preamp:
Have had this unit for about 6 months now, but have worked with the same unit in a number of studios both home & pro. If you are looking for something transparent, meaning what comes out of the monitor sounds just like the voice/instrument you put in, this is superb. Obviously, it can generate much more as well, which is why I rated it the way I did. The I/O setup gives you numerous ways in which to apply this little gem and the sound overall is warm & natural. Great Unit.

Dependable, quiet, sturdy, warm and inexpensive.
Comments about dbx 386 Dual-Vacuum Tube Preamp:
I bought mine a few years ago. Seemed like pound for pound a good deal. After just a few sessions I realized that it was wholly unremarkable. The tubes went about 6 months ago, and I care so little that I haven't even had them fixed.
Comments about dbx 386 Dual-Vacuum Tube Preamp:
I was never happy with this this preamp. It seemed always on the boarder line of distorting. I've taken it in twice to be repaired. Other people I've talked to praise it. I don't.
