Must Have For The Studio
I got a pair of Skulpters for recording synths and keyboard sounds. My first experience with them was in another recording studio which had a pair for drum overheads and i really liked how open they sounded on the overheads. Took a bit of time to research on the features and realised that for such a tiny unit it comes feature-packed!
1. Beautiful lo-cut filter which just works
2. Two different saturation shape knobs to for tone shaping on instruments and vocals
3. In-built VCA compressor which sounds great on anything you put it through
The demonstration on the Elysia youtube page really did help solidify the reason for buying a pair and I think I'll keep them for a long time. I had an issue with the Comp indicator LED which remained lit for a short while when my lunchbox was on but it slowly dimmed off after a while. Ingo from Elysia recommended that I send it back for repair and even though they didn't find any fault with the internal components they kindly replaced the LED light for me. Took about 2 months to get it back but Thomann and Elysia was extremely helpful with the after service given that I'm actually halfway around the world.
For those who are looking for a solid workhorse the Skulpter is something to consider. Just as a side note, it's a bright preamp! So if you are looking to pair it with a dark-sounding microphone it will work perfectly.
