I’m going to get one this weekend. Looks like it will do everything I need it to
I just wish all the companies making these type of all in one boxes would put an FX loop on the unit. What is the point of having a DI on the drive section if you can't put anything behind it? Just have to run another DI box. 
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.
I'm pretty sure your pickups are very very high output or have a bloated low frequency that is why the distortion it not that good. From the early demos, the grit sounds musical to me.
With regards to compression, just use a little but normally you use a compressor so that your notes don't die quickly. I prefer a squashy compressor as an effect.

First DI exploration
(Wear headphones)
It's a long one guys, but I labeled the parts in the play line. Watch it all, soak it in, or skim through it.

This is why I settled on the Dsm humboldt bass simplifier for my big board.
Got mine. Swapped a couple pedals out. I love it. Nice and tight. Close to what I have already Just sounds more familiar with the new s g t

Effect loops and blend knobs suck.
Just thought I’d put that out there

I agree with half of this statement. The other half is pure lunacy!Effect loops and blend knobs suck.

I would be interested to know if there is much difference between the broughton sv-pre and the ampeg? (I’m talking just the preamp side of the ampeg with cab sim disengaged.)
the reason I ask is I run a broughton sv pre into a ir cab sim pedal with a splitter pedal and an tempted to swap to this for a neater all in one solution

It'd have a similar vibe. But, It'd be more spunky/punchy.
Ampegs classic tone stack includes a wide hump around 450. They're newer tone stack is humped more around 800.
So, instead of having that big loose warm sound, their newer products are tighter and have more of a vocal poke.
Same vibes though, but different flavors. A little more on the modern side.
I can tell you they both sound real close. Even with my depth charge and the SGT enabled they are close. Still Experimenting with turning. The compressor off to use my empress
Anyone figure out how to find unity gain for a lower gain drive sound? If you set the grit low and the grit level high it still isn't loud enough to match the clean side. It seems like you have to have a dirtier sound to even out levels with the clean side? Does that make sense?
