Solid construction. Big iron. When swapped out for the hi-z input in numerous preamps that I own there was a noticeable jump in fidelity. In comparison, there was less "quack" and mid-range harshness when playing a Korean 335 with humbuckers. Pleasing low end was a additional side effect. 4-stars for no pad, and the ground lift switch feels unsubstantial. Approaching this price point I expect premium..

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
