All-New Ampeg SCR-DI!

I'm really diggin my SCR-DI's Aux-in & headphone input for practicing at home. I hook my laptop into the SCR-DI and after tweaking some eq settings in Media Player the mp3's come through sounding really nice. The SCR-DI sounds great through my head phones as well. The sound quality of the Aux-in and headphone input of this thing is much better than the one in my PF500 and my KORG Pandora. I my opinion this feature alone makes it worth the price of admission.

I agree. It has totally changed my practice method for learning and practicing songs. I used to do that with headphones with left ear on and right off to hear my bass acoustically.

Thanks Chad

That's good to know. I got a bit suspicious that I'd received an 'open box' unit. There was a bit of tape holding the box shut which didn't look right (or even required). Then once I realised there was no manual, I thought...MMMmmmm !! Looks like it's fine then and consistent with others' who have bought it.

It's not an overly complicated unit mind you, but at that price point, you'd at least expect the paperwork with the safety considerations on it. Looks like Ampeg just expect folks to download the pdf from them.

Cheers

Yeah, that piece of tape looked kinda wonky/resealed on mine too. I'm wondering if the manual situation is maybe just temporary as they are rushing to get units out into the marketplace.

Yep...I reckon you're correct there. The units appear to be available at a rate and distribution suggestive of Ampeg knocking them out and the retailers selling out just as quick.
 
I don't know about the manual situation, but it's not like you need one ;) It's pretty self-explanatory. But it's online, so maybe they're experimenting with not including it to save paper. A-Designs does that, too. Personally, anything that saves a tree is OK by me.

Same here. They are really not needed with this unit.
