    REDDI Tube DI Mega-thread-III

    I'm not concerned with any Limited Dark REDDI, I already have the one-up... the Limited Special edition! Switchable from 16db of gain to 60db and phantom power. Also it has a "mood lift" switch on the back that, when flipped, produces no audible change- but any woman in the vicinity will...

    Haha! Plus Svetlana is a more seductive name isn't it? Hmmm let's see Sovtek is the dependable workhorse Russian dude who you have downed many a vodka with... but starting to grow weary of his company. In pops Svetlana, his gorgeous sister who you would much much rather hang out with...

    Cool Pete. Thanks for the warning! Will be extra careful about phantom power in that case. Not a problem as I have an SM7b and Sm-57 to mess around with anyway. Hey Jimmy, thanks for the congrats. Reading your numerous posts contributed to the good vibes I felt towards buying one for myself...

    REDDI Tube DI Mega-thread-III

    Thanks Pete! Ok if i swap any tubes i will stick to 6N1P only. I know the REDDI doesn't have 48v but i was under the impression that if i used the 48v from the pre after the REDDI it would not harm anything... Am i wrong? What is your opinion of running already-recorded guitar DI tracks...

    New SQUIER VM series! (Part 2)

    Got my VM Jazz 5 yesterday, my first bass! Just wanted something simple to record with and got an Affinity J-bass 5, but returned it when I saw this baby and ordered it off Thomann.de It seems to play fine despite the main outer box looking like it came out of a dog's mouth, the actual squier...

    NBD Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar V Bass w/ Review

    Probably the Jag bass doesn't have the reputation and fame of a P-bass... so they want to give people extra incentive to try them out :bassist:

    Fake SD Quarter Pounders?

    Cool hamfist, that settles it then. Hopkins, I'll check it out. Probably just a manufacturing variation... anyway I'll drop them in tomorrow and see how they sound :)

    Fake SD Quarter Pounders?

    Marcury, thanks for bringing that to my attention. If that was in July they should have updated their online product images to reflect that! Anyway that's good news, I did like that basslines logo but it's no biggie :)
