Avalon U5 question

[TSanders]

A local buddy is going to let me give his Avalon U5 a shot.

I plan on using it for a DI live (in front of my SVT-2 Pro) and Ill use it in the studio as well.

Is there a way I can run into the Avalon and then to my SVT and bypass the U5s tone controls so its not acting as a pre and only as a DI?

Any help would be appreciated.

One of the "tone" settings on the U5 is "flat", i.e. tone bypass.

Yes. Use the front panel "through out" into your SVT-2. Make sure the "active to through" button is disengaged. Enjoy!

There's a "tone" switch on the front panel - make sure it's off.

It's a GREAT DI, the soundman will love you.

pretty soon you will be running the U5 straight into the poweramp section of the svt and bypassing the ampeg preamp.

just a prediction....

Thanks for the responses. Looking forward to giving the Avalon some live and studio time!!

I have to stop selling them. It's inevitable I will buy one back some day
