Anyone still using a Basswitch IQ DI in 2020?

These seem super high quality and have a neat set of features. Secondhand prices seem pretty reasonable, but it’s tough to find much public buzz about them that isn’t 5-10yrs old. Thoughts?

Paging @TonyP- I think he uses one.

Still using! It's been on my main board for about 5 years now. Great sound with upright too. I currently own two of them, second one for my upright bass pedalboard. I've done countless gigs with IEM on both instruments and it always delivered. If you're interested the second one's for sale though!

I may be! Think I’ve already found a killer price on one. Don’t plan on needing a DI too often, have an Ampeg B100R at home and a Mesa M6 at my practice space, but would like a killer DI as a backup and for unusual situations. Is there another that’s as high quality as the Basswitch?

From the new stuff that came out recently... The Trickfish Trilobite seems nice too! A/B box, Di etc. I haven't tried it yet!

The Grace pedals probably sound great, haven’t tried one yet. Bassics bpa1 is real nice, very clean sound.

I have a Basswitch IQ. It's large, compared to a Shiftline Olympic MKIII, but it has useful features, particularly the two effects loops. Very clean and clear sounding, with nice EQ.

Sorry for my late response...Actually I use one and it is a great clean unit.

I have nothing bad to say about it, it is just on the larger side of things.
