Great sound and very very easy to use. Layout is straightforward and works perfectly running a five-piece band. Love the effects, really nice tap feature and also easy to setup and use. I am very much looking forward to taking it out into a big venue. Sounds really beautiful in conjunction with my qsc kw122s. All of my gear is bulky, so I struggle to fit it into my guitarists car, though this desk teemed with a flight case is well worth the squeeze. Would buy a hundred times over. If you are hoping to mic up a drum kit and gig with horns, and several singers however, I would definitely opt for the same desk with more channels. Good buy!
