95% of the Noble tone for a lot less cash. Not as pedalboard-friendly, but it doubles as a relatively affordable tube mic pre.
This one is unmodded. Last I checked, there's a guy out in Cali who can still mod them for you. But when I talked to him, he implied it was not worth it. A mod would increase the linearity of the pot and make the unit more full spectrum, but you'd lose more of the tube sag and low-mid fullness which makes this thing desirable in the first place. It might be nice on vocals and other mic-related usages, however.
