Good alternative to a Noble?

my setup feeding ToneX MAX (VST) with Noble captures.

once the ToneX One ships, i'll have a live Noble rig

I recently recorded in 301 studios here in Sydney, Australia. The in-house tech built a tube DI with a separate power supply. Looked a bit like the Broughton, square box. Sounded great and can get very dirty depending on how much gain you use. It has its uses, I tend to like Solid State.

I’m not doing much recording these days. I bought an Original Effects DCX Bass pedal and it sounds as good “live” as my Noble. Sold the Noble for stupid money and am perfectly fine with the DCX. Will it replace the Noble in the studio? No, I’m not claiming that, but in live situations there was virtually no discernible difference between the two…at least to MY ears! PS: I’m using the DCX as an always on tone shaping pedal in EQ mode only.

Did you see this? Keep in mind that the SushiBox Neptunium is a limited run. When they sell out, that might be it?

I watched a Phillip Conrad video from a while back not long ago. The difference between a Nobel and a JDI was so little it was not worth worrying about

Sushi said they have 50 units built, just waiting on transformers to arrive. He said you can pre-order from this batch, not all of them are are sold yet.
