    No screen, no problem

    2 years ago the MC101 was a 4 star. Now with all the firmware updates and continued support, it has become a 5 star unit. While it does require some shift functions, the workflow makes sense if you come from a production and mixing background.

This design essentially trades boost/cut capability for a wider, highly musical Q filter.
