Great for the price!
Presonus finally got it right. Having owned a firepod that worked when it wanted too, I was a little skeptical about the Eureka.Im happily surprised.This is a nice little strip, very transparent if you want it to be and about the best bass DI Ive ever heard in this price range. Very nice on all guitars also as well as vocals. The only downside is the EQ, its not very usable due to a very small Q range. Oh, and like everything presonus, the knobs are too small, too close together and so reflective you cant read them without getting close. Make it a two rack space peice and give us some room!. Overall a great piece of gear though, im very happy with it!

Eureka!
This is a very nice channel strip that is worth the extra money if you're looking at strips in the lower price range. This is your tone your talking about. Your tone!
Of course, if you're researching these you know what people are saying about how this sounds very nice. I would even prefer this to some of the more expensive units out there. I would prefer an Avalon, maybe, but that was way out of my range.
Here's a few other things you should know about this.
Periodically, Presonus offers the digital card free when you buy this. I got this, although it doesn't have the right digital connection for what I have right now, it will eventually be useful for me. It is easy to install. I also got a free AT 2020 mic with my deal, but that may not happen any more.
The small knobs are arranged a little close together, which makes tweaking a little tough. If you can install this more at eye level than down by your knees it is easier to use. Plus it looks so nice you want everyone to see it.
When I installed this between two efx units, they squeezed it in a way that made some of the knobs grind. Switching places fixed this- more likely a problem with the other units or my rack.
The XLR is located in the back, so get a nice mic cable and leave it plugged in and accessable.
With the push of a button you can switch the order of the compressor and EQ. Very cool. It's also good to have such a nice parametric EQ right in your channel strip.
This does not have a tube, but has a simulated tube saturation knob. The bottom line is that just like when working with the real stuff, this will sound good on some material, but not everything. It's there if you need it.

A lot of value for the price
If you want a high quality studio tool at an affordable price this is the item for you. This unit has class A transformer coupled mic Preamps that do a very good job. The preamps are quiet and add a nice color to the sound. The EQ is usable but nothing spectacular. The compressor is also a very good tool to have in your studio. The compressors are good for vocals but them seemed to be better suited for bass guitar tracks. The unit is easy to use and it seems to be built well so it should not have any problems. Presonus has always been a good company in my opinion and they have always provided me with great customer support. I do not think you will be disappointed with this unit.

Exelent product
This is a great product especially for the price
The sound quality and features are exelant
The only thing slightley negative is the small print around to control knobs..you might need a cheap magnifying glass but a small price to pay

Super clear, for a super deal
I was looking for a good clean mic pre in this price range. I tried many other brands, but not only does the eureka's mic pre sound better, it's a full channel strip. It also has a preamp bypass and compression bypass button, this is a really good feature. The a/d converters are really great quality and are worth the upgrade. The light and knobs are top quality and feel like they will last forever. I feel this is the best product for the price, and sounds much better then low quality tube pre amps.
