I have an Ultragain Pro, too. It\ufffds usably, but it\ufffds definitely NOT the same
quality as my Amek 9098 or Focusrite ISA-215. ;-)
Don\ufffdt use the EQ, it destroys the signal immediately!
BTW: Has anybody opened the case and checked whether there\ufffds a second tube
inside?
The tube is backlit and when there\ufffds no second one I think it\ufffds cosmetics
only, because it\ufffds a two channel preamp (how should they do that with only
one tube?)...
