Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the budget Behringer MIC300 tube preamp. This offer +60dB of gain with +10dB on the output stage, and the main thing that drew me to it, an analog limiter (which is fine, but not great). If you're looking for a fantastic sounding preamp with tons of clean gain, this is not for you. It's a relatively distorted, slightly noisy tube preamp that's a little bit of fun.
