And, there is much control over the top end with the dual treble control. That bass has what I loosely describe as the 'Mark King' sort of tone anyway.... punchy, very clean, very treble extended (at least if you have one with the stock Seymour soapbars). That would be a fabulous match with the AE212 (which I believe you own).
However, for some, might be 'too much of a good thing'. Really clean and precise up top. |

Both my M5-24 and my NYC have Stock Sadowsky soaps. I also still have a AE212, although my UL310 has been getting the most attention. I must try to resist the Glock, but it seems so damned tempting. The description of the oil filled pots is perfect. I know exactly what that feels like. I would love to hear a BS up close and personal some time. I did hear a Glock long ago, but that was back in the 80's. It sounded amazing by the way.

I wish it had a gig bag that it could stay in....I heard the Blue Soul bag is just carry than take out, correct?

Edit: I assume you got the rack ears with your Blue Soul. That head will fit in a standard two space rack bag if you so choose. I prefer the Glock carry bag, since even though the class D stuff runs very cool, it lets the amp breath (i.e., no constriction of the air vents).

in this....

Since it is not listed as a feature, and also since the DI has a groundlift (which is not really needed with a transformer-isolated DI), I would assume it is a very high quality execution of a more standard, active/buffered DI.
It sounds very good and is VERY quiet.

This is not eliminated by the transformer. The REDDI for example has a ground lift.

However, it is my understanding that a transformer 'true isolation' pretty much eliminates most ground loop issues, etc. |

Again, I'm sure there are other sources of noise that a 'ground lift' switch must reduce, or those companies wouldn't put the switch on there (I am in no way an engineer!). Really, no big deal here. The Glock DI is magnificent, and my guess is, it is an active/buffered DI without a transformer.
If the OP really wants the full scoop, I would think the Glenn at Austin Bass traders would know, or could get the info (Dan Lenard at Luthiers Access Group also).

Anyway, the issues with ground loops, manufactures of audio equiment, etc is another topic and does not belong in this thread. For the technically inclined: http://www.rane.com/note110.html
Back to the regularly scheduled program.
