Yes, it is good quality, but maybe not completely worth the price. I love is as a DI, and certainly works well as a electric guitar DI before going into some computer amp simulator (ie guitar rig, amplitube....etc). The sound is balanced, and the knobs are really smooth and of high quality, it's a pleasure to set gain and out levels, and you can tweak them to have a pretty clear sound, or a quite coloured one. Good product all in all, recommended if you like THAT precise sound, but if you don't feel all the nuances and differences with other pres and are low on budget, I'd recommend also the GAP Pre 73 Deluxe. Anyways, solo 610 is a high quality, sturdy, portable and stylish preamp.
