SM Pro Audio TB101 "Red Valve"

[prestomation]

Anyone used one of these? I've never seen them talked around here, not that I can remember at least. I saw it come highly recommended at another forum, he compared it to an avalon. While I don't really believe that(while I'd like to), it still looks like a great package. A $150 tube pre(is it toob?) with an optical compressor and EQ to boot!

So, anyone use/like them?

Electronic Musician did a review on the TB202 - which I assume is the two channel version of the TB101. The preamps were judged 'okay' while the EQ and compressor got pretty lousy reviews. Here's the link to the review....

Thanks for that link. Looks like I'll be staying away, but does anyone have any real world experience with this thing?
