Eden WTDI Direct Box/Preamp

It looks a little like a WT405.

 

HOly cr@p. Innovation from Eden!

DI with compression + EQ. I want.

.... but does that say "guitar amplifier"?

 

my guess is it says
Bass
Pre

behind the mids knob

eden forums say MSRP: $224.99

 

Nifty... If its quality is up to par, then that will probably be a serious player in the pedal-preamp market.

 

Ok, that's really sweet. If the price is right, it goes on the short list.

EDIT: MSRP is $224.95. Couldn't find any availability date though.

 

It's not supposed to be released until October

 

Based on the size of the footswitch relative to the rest of the enclosure, it looks like it's going to be smaller than you think.

 

I think it looks M-80 sized. It looks pretty damn useful too.

 

Useful in front of my soudcard. Might have to check this out.

I'd like to see a comparison(sp ??) of this, the joe meek, the mxr , aguilar and other pre/di units.

 

Just lost interest. Uses 12V power supply which is included.

 

does it have a tube in it?

 

I don't think so. There doesn't look like enough room for a tube.

 

Agreed--if anything it would have to be one of those subminiature tubes, considering all the pots and switches and jacks taking up room inside that thing.

 

I just wonder if it has the "golden ear" chip. I think that's what it's called. Also, I think you can use the Line 6 12V setting on the pedal power 2 to power this, so I may be interested after all.

 

I suspect not... I would think that if this had the "golden ear chip," Eden would be hyping it in their marketing material.

 

I concur with that thinking.

 

Here's the marketing hype for the WTX-264:

"The pre-amplifier section of the WTX-264 is based on the Golden Ear chip for amazing warmth and musicality. This is the same chip used in ultra-high-end recording consoles and is more expensive – and more musical – than the chips used by other manufacturers."

 

This looks like a preamp i can get behind.
