Strengths: impedence of 50 for the ribbon mic, warm blending output signal, simple in use
Weaknesses: quiet
Summary: Bought it to use with ribbon mic. The output is warm and for ribbon mic it has enough gain. For other mics it is kind of quiet. Add warm to the digital effect from guitar. Very low noise. No issues so far. Not overprices as same level tube pre-amps.

Strengths: Hi-Z, Lo-Z input, Blend option. Good Control, 50-200 Mic impedance switch
Weaknesses: Do not have options as limiter, compression, speed, and everything manipulated by output and blend
Summary: Not changed VTB-1 with great mic impedance. Blend is just great addition to this solid construction. Hi-Z is very good for guitar input. Solid like tank. Sofar did not change stock tube, but definetely I will to see what else can be get from this small unit. No problems sofar.

Strengths: Quality, Manual, Mic Switch for Ribbon Mics, Features
Weaknesses: No VU
Summary: Bought it for use with Ribbon Mic. For condenser Mics with phantom power any Mixer will be OK, but for Ribbon - mixer is too weak. Product is a very stable, and after all if you need for main line, you have ability to use it with differnt Mics and instruments. Adds nice warmth and at the same time very clear. On a back side exists switch that allows to switch the impedence down to 50 for the ribbon mic and it gives the mic output the nice open sound like it should be. Very happy.
