    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    Yeah, I’ve been using it that way these days in order use the mute switch on the old Genz Benz amp I use as a small power amp…I just set the amp’s EQ flat. And yes, it does tend to drive the GB’s preamp tube a bit if not paying attention room to your Oracle’s settings, but that’s easy to do and...

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    it did capture the powerstage as far as i remember. i think i'm going to be going the preamp/mini power amp combo from now on. trying to find a used sumo 1000watter, or possibly a Bassics A900, Demeter Minnie. something small and powerful enough to properly drive my two Audio Kinesis 12" cabs.

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    i think it's identical to the Zephyr, but i'm not 100% on that. i had an Ampeg PF50-T that did feature a post-transformer XLR which was pretty nice...gave you the tubes and tone that you'd expect, and was pretty awesome as a practice amp. i know there are people who gig with them, but i just...

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    Just wanted to add one more thing here. Took the Oracle out to my first gig with it over the weekend. It was perfect. I was using a provided backline that had an effects loop...but it was hard to access, so I just plugged it into the input and deactivated the amp's EQ section. Worked like a...

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    i read just about all of your thread! i meant to post this in the preamp section, but i made a mistake. i love this preamp...really is a game changer for me. today there's a provided backline...i'll be sending one line to the board, and another to a recording device, and everyone gets that super...

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    I'd do a sound clip comparison for you if I still had that Ampeg, which I traded away last year. In my opinion, the Ampeg seemed a little too flat for me and I couldn't get a variety of different tones that I personally liked. It was a great amp though, and I did like its tone...but just...

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    I liked the REDDI a lot...BUT, I really think I'm going to like being able to get a better sound when I show up to play a backline-provided rig by bypassing the amp and using the Oracle's eq section. The REDDI doesn't do that, but it is awesome. I just wanted more features for more...

    New Oracle Tube DI w/XLR out!!!

    Hello all...I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt someone needed to talk about the new XLR-equipped version of this preamp. Just got it over the weekend (shipping from Arkham Sound was QUICK). First of all, it's built like a tank...you can tell it will be around years from now. Unboxed it...
