If you feeling like this is a little pricey, don't worry, you'll forget all about it after you start using it. Amazing little box of wonder.

I purchased Launcher Deluxe to use with my microphones and synthesizer modules.
The Launcher Deluxe makes a $2000 synth sound like a $3000 synth.
The low frequency range is more powerful with clearer sound contours, and the high frequency range is more sparkling.

I have also used it with several microphones.
I enjoyed the color difference especially on brighter sounding microphones such as Lewitt's LCT440 and 441.
The addition of the soyuz color, which is rich in the low midrange, to these microphones is wonderful.
It is also good for adding a little color to a straightforward mic like Lauten Audio's LA-120. It brings the sound image closer.

The Launcher Deluxe is not expensive, considering that you will be able to use the synths and mics you already own, each with a different appealing character.
I am very happy with it.

It's amazing to be able to use it with both dynamic and condenser mic. I love using Launcher Deluxe with my condenser microphones for vocals on saturate mode!

This is the two-channel secret weapon.
You can boost a pair of microphones or even line-level instruments by up to 26 decibels and give the sound a wonderful mojo character and punch.
It gives dynamic and ribbon mics added depth and impact through its internal transformers.
The Launcher sounds anything but clean and well-behaved,
especially if you simply activate the Saturate mode.
This makes it a solid toolbox, even for condenser mics.
It's not cheap, but it also makes every sound really expensive, and that's what makes the difference.

I purchased this in the hopes of running both my Fathead II ribbon mic along with my WA47Jr thru it to add some "Iron" before hitting my interface (RME Babyface Pro FS). Being able to switch it (per channel) for either a ribbon mic - which also adds 26db of gain - or having it pass 48V thru to a condenser (without the boost, but with saturation) is awesome. I write and record acoustic gypsy swing music and wanted some slight vintage color/warmth. I was looking at some 1073 clones at first, but decided to go with this instead... keep in mind I don't need anything driven to distortion levels with the music that I do. It's basically a two channel preamp with transformers and no controls - which I love as I won't be second guessing myself if I got it write or not ;). It adds a little buttery smoothness before going into my DAW where I can take it from there. Also, we'll use it live in my trio and run my dynamic mic thru one channel for boost/warmth and my rhythm guitarist's line-out from his acoustic preamp into the PA. I also love the aesthetic simplicity and that it's built like a tank. Soyuz had a great idea with this one. I smell a four-channel version coming (also wondering if they might get into the EQ game)!
