Well,
mine was unusable with the stock tubes. I thought my unit was faulty until I changed them.
Now it sounds ok, a tad noisy but ok, the input impedance control is really cool, the Hi-z input is decent but not as good as my countryman.
I always use the High plate voltage mode, the other mode isn kinda dirty.

you say its better than someting like those presonus tube pres? not really fussed on the HI-z input unless its better better than my Samson DI box, which does an ok job.

I can't say it since I never used those presonus tube pres. At least It's not the same design.

It's definitly better. One of the best pres you can get for under 250$ a channel. It's a real tube design (read: High Voltage), the Presonus is a starved plate design. so basically it's there for marketing and so you can look and go "Kool Toob".

Nothing special, but I recently purchased an Ibanez ART300 while Ibanez was offering a free hard shell case with it's purchases. I bought one in the black scalloped maple finish which I really like much more than I thought I would - I debated between the green and the black finish, finally settling on black.
Don't mind the sucky Blackberry camera pictures - can't find my digital camera
For the price, it is a great guitar - I wanted a fixed bridge guitar in a more clasic Les Paul body shape to supplement my other Ibanez RG series and for a small cash investment it has pretty good specifications - mahogany body, maple cap, set neck, Gibraltar bridge, and the new Ibanez LoZ active pickups.
I originally thought I would immediately replace the LoZs with something else, but now having played them, more than just in the store, I find I actually like them quite a bit. They have a nice full sound while also providing the tightness I expected from actives (they are a bit different from other actives in that they run off of 2xAA batteries instead). Perhaps eventually I will feel the need to replace them, but for now they fit the bill fine and dandy.
I also picked up an extra MXL990 with case and shock mount for a modest $35.00 on ebay - the price was right and I thought another Condenser could always be put to use.
Nothing outrageous, but worth posting. Hmmmm - now what to purchase next. Really thinking about a Peavey Windsor, but unsure I want to purchase a head right now - was thinking about the 20 watt Windsor Studio version. anyone had any experience with it as a recording amp?
