Yah, if you can get one, get it. It's a great pre. I used the pre out on my Epi 502 into my Crown MT 1200, man it sounded great. No need for my Alembic F1-X anymore.

The Quest II is a really nice sounding preamp, BTW!

Guilty. I have very little self control.

Actually, I was sort of second guessing my decision to sell my previous Quest II (go figure, me not wanting to sell something! ), so this does help.

I almost pushed the button myself. Not having the funds, and not needing a preamp almost weren't enough to dissuade me!

I wonder if any have Jensens?

Q: it's two channel, dual input. Does that mean each input is switchable to either channel, or is only one input designed to be useda at a time? i.e. active/passive?

You can switch to either channel from either input, I believe. Though I am not sure if this works if you have something plugged into both inputs.

would it be heresy to run the Quest into an IP310?

btw, finally tried the IP310 at rudy's music, and HOLY MOTHER, that is a terrific cab!

It certainly sounds awesome! But you do have to keep looking over your back, like you're getting away with something.
