Does this exist? I guess a POD would work but I'd much prefer something smaller and simpler. It should be a good quality unit too.
Suggestions?

| | | I use the Sadowsky outboard preamp for that purpose. It doesn't have a tuner built-in, but it does have a tuner output on it. http://sadowsky.com/audio/preamp.html
It's a pretty good preamp, too!

| | Looking for Opportunities to Create Harmony | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Vancouver, BC Canada | | | Couple questions about the Sadowsky Pre...
What frequency is the bass dial set at?
I assume the DI is pre eq, correct?
Edit: Just noticed on the website it says that the Bass Control is set at 40hz. I was hoping for about 60hz. My LMII's bass control is set at 40hz already.
Other units similar to this... tuner/mute/di???

Why wouldn't you want to send the pre signal to the house and only to your amp, btw?
I must add, being a fan of it, the Sadowsky is a foolproof way to a really clear, solid sound, especially live. To me it's voiced so "right" it improves nearly every bass I've tried on it, from modern ones to funky old hollowbodies. Just the slightest bass boost on it does something really special to your low end clarity and "even-ness" .. . .
If you don't mind two boxes instead of one, get the Sadowsky and a tuner and dig on the happy sound men and engineers . . . . |

| | Looking for Opportunities to Create Harmony | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Vancouver, BC Canada | | | Well, I have an aphex bass exciter which has a di. I was just hoping I could get all three functions in one unit. Another one I thought of is the sans amp para driver. it has a tuner out, but no mute. gotta have that mute.
strange that you cant find a good tuner/mute/di in one box. seems to me its an important tool for a gigging bassist. dont know why the manufacturers choose not to design such a thing.

A nice DI that mutes when you tune. Have it run on phantom power and no batteries or AC necessary, either.
If I could combine my Boss TU-2 (mute/tuner) and my Radial JDI and run it on phantom power I'd be set. |

| | | | Even if technical issues prevented the tuner from running off of 48v, I'd be happy to have the DI section run off 48v and have a battery for the tuner (w/lo batt indicator).

Main problem with using the DI on the Strobe is it makes your signal chain hiss when bypassed.
So I'd go with the tuner and di approach but would recommend the DT-10 and Radial Pro-DI but thats just personal opinion.
