I have several versions in the studio but I use them strictly as mic preamps since my other DIs honestly sound better for bass and such.
Nope, I didn't see the need as they are different creatures the way I approach how my gear is used. I have shelved a ot of past solutions for bass since getting my
@Sushi Box FX preamps and Finally.
v1 used for lo fi sounds since it's old and pretty beat up after using it in my sound company for over a decade. Perfect for crunchy vox, bass or snare drum.
v2 Studio used with a clip on condenser mic for acoustic instruments, guitar and horns. Has quiet phantom power and VU meter helps to set gain level.
v3 The saturation and OPL work well for finding a desired saturation/limiter setting. This version is interesting on bass but there are much better choices available.
TPS II dual rack mount version, handy for any dual mic set up either stereo, mid side or mixing a side axis mic.
FWIW mic preamps work for bass but have a microscopic effect on bass that enhances the best and worst of any bass and player's technique.
