Studio-recording-quality
2-channel instrument preamp & blender

GRACE design's Felix is a 2-channel ""dedicated instrument preamp/blender."" Each channel features an EQ/filter section, allowing you to mix and balanced output from piezo/magnetic pickups and condenser microphones for acoustic instruments.

It fully utilizes GRACE design's ""highly transparent and expressive"" sound design, used in the world's top studios. It reproduces the original resonance and sound of acoustic instruments with the same quality as professional recording equipment.
