The 22MTK is great for the price — but you definitely can see where they cut corners manufacturing it. Knobs are all a bit tightly spaced & wobbly, no inserts, no channel VU LEDs or meters, etc. All in all though, great sound and I don't know of anything for the price that will give you 22 channels and the flexibility it offers. I've got a patch bay in front of mine which solves the insert problem, and generally have VU meters up on my screen. I was trying to make the choice between the Zed R16 and this, but the 22MTK won out because I was able to find one for half the price of any used Zed R16. I'm happy with it.
