Three Q Channel Strip description:

The JoeMeek THREE Q Channel Strip. Affordable mono Mic/Instrument Pre with compressor and EQ.

The JoeMeek THREE Q is like having one channel of a professional recording studio in a small box. It takes a microphone or instrument, amplifies it, compresses and equalizes it ready to be recorded. Simple to use yet extremely powerful, the threeQ will bring out the best in any microphone or instrument and give the gloss of a professional studio production to all your performances. As well as recording it will also be found useful for live work.
