Hi,
I have an ART Tube pac. Its a pre-amp / compressor.
I only used it for voice so far but it can supply a lot of gain (volume) and can be output to both an amp and xlr to a mixer if you want to use it live as well (like a direct box). I hear it good for other insturments too like trumpets, etc.. someday !!

Hi,
I'd also like to mention you may want to try the one first.
There are so many variables on what you are using and doing.
I hear some of the same model even sound differnet. After I bought the ART I searched the web and discovered I had just bought a device that was the object of varied discussions and opinions (pro & con). But I do like the sound of mine and it sits right on top of one my JBL monitors !!
