Mackie Big Knob Replica ..
Have owned one for a while now, pretty nice unit. The only real problem is when monitoring at low volumes, either the left or right channel cuts out.
A very big noise during playback from USB port out (using the product like a USB audio interface).
has very bad monitor select buttons
