Joe Meek Q-One?

Does anyone have any experience with Joe Meek products?  I am interested in their Q-One Mic preamp.

    I ended up not being satisfied for vocals on the lower priced units, but the ONEQ may be better.
    The lower priced stuff isnt bad for bass.

    I also used an avalon 737 sp, a DBX 376 and now I have a presonus eureka.

    The eureka is my favoriote so far. I love the sound, very smooth, and I like how the compressor works ont he way in on the eureka as well.

    Lance , do have any input on the Meek EQ's?


    I've been looking for something along the 4 band Parametric lines....as a step up from my ART TUBE EQ.


    Mainly for tracking direct amp modelers and bass. 


    Thanks.

    I used to have the VC3 and VC6. The VC6 I really liked and wish I still had. Haven't tried the newer stuff.

    Thanks Guys,

    I think I will research this a bit more and if I decide to purchase, I'll give you my findings.

    Best Wishes,

    I had the Q1, i didnt care for it. Vocals were a little lost in the mix, and had a strange distortion i didnt care for. Now im no pro, could of been user error, but im doing well now. you may enjoy it, i may have had a bad unit...but i owned it and didnt like it.

    Roland XP-60

    And they said i couldnt do it...
