Description: Incredibly vibey channel strip makes it easy to dial in vintage sounds. It also has the VC1QD digital output card installed ($350). I have been using this unit to record voiceover and it always turns out phenomenal. Hard to part with but sadly I do not need 2 of them anymore (maybe I never did) The compressor uses the familiar Joemeek photocell/LED system to implement its characteristic soft‑knee response. Rotary controls for Compression, Attack and Release are provided, alongside a five‑position rotary switch labelled 'Slope' which adjusts compression ratio. The Comp switch allows you to independently bypass the compressor and there is also a VU Mode button alongside the large moving‑coil display which allows you to switch the metering to show the compressor's gain reduction rather than the output level. The final processing stage comprises an enhancer plus an equaliser, and the two complement each other rather well. The enhancer employs a type of dynamic EQ principle and is useful for adding air and detail to a sound providing you don't push it too far. The effect is adjusted using a Drive control that affects both the amount and character of the enhancement, and a bi‑colour LED shows roughly how much drive is being used. Overall, this is a very practical front end. All the elements that make up the VC1Q are familiar Joemeek components, but they all work well together to provide a flexible mic/line/instrument preamp that has just about everything needed for direct recording. The EQ and enhancer sections work well together for effective tonal reshaping while the compressor is just what you'd expect from Joemeek — smoothness with attitude! The controls are large and clearly labelled, every section has a bypass switch and nobody could complain that the meter isn't big enough. If you thought the VC1 was good, the VC1Q is even better.
