Review: Definitely an improvement over my red Pre-73 mkii. - Definitely an improvement over my red Pre-73 mkii. 100% worth the upgrade if anyone is going back and forth. I was considering getting the MKII modded, but I'm glad I bought the Premier instead.
Review: Great 1073! - Clean and warm! Sounds sweet! Line in, XLR, phantom power, etc...all the usuals plus some cool extra settings! Definitely worth it and then some.
