Really no DI?

Yes, this unit did not come with a DI.......still, very magical sound and I agree with others that this unit is better sounding than the 1 space (I have both). Thanks for looking

A VTBP-201 sounds absolutely awesome into a Berg IP. Quiet and clean. Sweet.

If you don't need a DI or alot of EQ, this is the ticket, and a steal at that. One with a DI would be at least $100 to $125 more. I'd pick this up in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one...

Thanks Fbassed,
It's an extra for me right now that only gets used during practice. Could use a small combo for small gig/practice. Anyone?

That is the lowest price for that pre i ever saw. Well worth it. DI or not.

Maybe if I raised the price, someone would snag it? I was turned on to these preamps in the mid 90's mostly for it's simplicity and clean sound. I actually amazed by how many BP's don't know about it.
