Ow, it may seem strange, but there _aren't_ any real cons as far as I can tell. Focusrite have been making mic pres for years now and are quite good at making them to a (low) pricepoint. The only thing I can think of is that the low price is a gamble on their part to claim that slice of the market as I've heard that they have high hopes for it. Needless to say, there is a _lot_ of interest in this box from a variety of areas and levels.

The plug ins are ok - there is a rumour that they are done by someone who did some very expensive ProTools versions (the eq and compressor anyway) and again, I'm not golden eared enough to get picky. They made some guitar, vocal, etc sound nice so I was happy. Having just got back from town and actually read Paul White's review, he doesn't dismiss them either so that's nice.

Go on ... buy one ... you know you want to really ...
