Rodecaster Pro II Review / Walkthrough / Explained

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Rodecaster Pro II which is the new gold standard for USB mixers. I compare this to the preamp of the Rodecaster Pro 1, demo the processing, test the bluetooth, run an outboard preamp line level, and even record music using the instrument DI. This thing seems to do it all.
