....so if anyone has any specific questions we'll be happy to try and test things out for people
Thanks for putting this together.
What would be very helpful is if you could compare the Demeter to other amps that you've played thru.

Cool - we'll see if we can use:
Jule Monique + Minnie
Aguilar DB751
Aguilar Tone Hammer 500
Glockenklang Heartrock
May take a day or so to get through these but we'll have fun trying
It's early days, so I've not really had the chance to give it a good run yet, but so far I am loving it.
I love the Demeter tone - the way there's a real weight and girth to every note, but with superb separation and no boom. I think the HD210 has a similar character, so they are a good match.
I didn't get the DI as I have no real need for it, but the back panel on mine, left to right, is:
- mains socket
- 1A fuse holder
- 2 x Speakon jack outputs
- 1/4" jack preamp out
- 1/4" effects return
- 1/4" effects send
FWIW mine will be coming with the Jensen DI so I will let you guys know. After I some with James I do know it'll have a pre/post switch. Not sure if there will be a DI level control on the back though.
For this head it's a choice of either the Jensen DI or no DI at all (just the 1/4" pre out in that case). I know on some of his other equipment it's different where you can upgrade the standard DI to the Jensen. I can't speak for the difference between those as I've never A/B'ed them, but I think Tom Bowlus may have a better understanding of any change in sound quality.
I thought it was between a standard DI or the Jensen DI.
If it's between none or the Jensen, that makes it a no brainer.

I'm on the fence between the Demeter and the DeMonique. Not sure which one to go with.
Awesome amps guys! I just purchased an older Demeter 1.5" Vtbp-201 preamp
I'm loving it. Contemplating having James install his Minnie amp module inside or just purchasing a Minnie.

Yes, I'd also love to hear a comparison, whenever somebody does one. Great gear either way you go. And customer service

I will definitely do that when I get mine which I believe is a couple weeks out, conveniently just before my next gig.
