Peavey ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. That sounds like a unit I would concider buying, if the sound delivers. I like the idea behind the vtb-1- I just do too much stereo recording to feel like buying 2 1/2 racks.
For some reason, though, a 1u rack with 2 similar units and VU meters really floats my boat.
I'm probably dreaming, here, but I'd like to put in my suggestion for both -10 and +4 outputs.
Firewire sounds cool, but doesn't that put you guys in the business of writing drivers for it? It just feels like it's going to be hard to hit that price point and still supply useable A/D conversion and multiplatform support.
Good luck, Alan! Keep up the good work.
Take care,
Chris

I know that many of us have pretty fancy requests here, but dont forget the most inportant thing is keeping the price point low without compromising the sound. Instead of using an expensive pair of inaccurate VU meters that have never made any unit sound better. Try like 10 led instead of 5. that should help alot. then go coax out , maybe lightpipe, but firewire will only cost alot more to put the stuff inside, then the software issues will also kill the units price, and think about all the complaints that will get you from all of us with computers that dont want to work with that.
Transformer design is a good idea but try to get them to give you a deal there. I dont need the thing to be pretty, Ive never heard a cd and thought that the mic pre on that recording sure looks pretty.

Well, these days I believe VU-meters aren't THAT inaccurate anymore...and they can also be scaled to digital scale (so that if the needle hits 0db VU, it's also outputting +24dBu (or 0dBFS)
and how expensive can they be?
I also don't give a rats ass about a Firewire connector (a S/PDIF coax/toslink duo will do fine, and maybe make that Toslink a sort of duo for S/PDIF andADAT use, I've seen these before), ofcourse XLR and jack (bal/unbal.) with +4dBU/-10dBV switches... Hey if Behringer can put that shit on a $99 2 channel mic pre, I'll bet Studio Projects can do the same on a $599 2 channel mic pre...
Guess you don't know how a Focusrite Red7 looks like...darrin_h2000 said:

Well Alan, that's easy: the VTB-3 will be the VTB-2's little brother, a class A solid state stereo micpre. The additional X designates germanium transistors for that extra vintage flavor, and the pro version has imput transformers (Lundahl, Jensen, Haufe - I haven't decided yet
)

My sponsor at Gearaholics Anon. said that Alan is a pusher, and I should avoid him. He starts you out on a little mic, then it's a pre, then another mic.........and......they just keep getting more expensive!!!!!!
I've been straight for a month now, but those damned VU's are making my hand shake. I have to make a call.
