New Tech 21 Geddy Lee DI-2112

It's a nice pedal, but I think a premix out like the Orange Bass Butler would have been nice too. It looks neat, though.
Kinda wish I liked the OD from my YYZ I just sold - it really was a versatile pedal when it came to utilitarian uses for me.

I wish they would have put a footswitch on it to engage it and maybe a footswitch to mute?
Yeah, I thought that was weird. The Shift Line Olympic is the same way.
See? That's what I said!
Well I guess they know what they’re doing. Tho ANY pedal of this type without a headphone out (see SH1) is a drag.
Whoa. A nice compromise between the rackmount and the pedal, functionality wise. I'm interested.
No switch? I’d like to see this with an on and off switch for drive.
Plus, also, too ... I think Tech 21 is killing it product wise ... yet killing the wallet as well with multiple iterations and incremental feature build-outs of similar products. Clever, and not too considerate. But screw it -- they've got me hooked and I'm a fan.
Curious to see how the 2 channels can be combined - the site indicates so, but it looks to me like there are just separate outs for the "Deep" and "Drive" channels. This has been a big discussion point with the rackmount version (GED-2112).
That's cool!

Totally agreed. If only for those using batteries, or just not wanting a bright blue LED burning 24/7, they should've included an on/off switch and ideally a mute too. Plenty of space for another for the Drive. Terrible oversights that'll cost them sales.
This looks like a pretty powerful pedal. Odd that they prioritized battery boxes over footswitches, but I'm the type that leaves my preamp on all the time anyways.
The nice thing about a box like this is that you can mount it onto your mic stand so the controls are at arm's reach -- making it pretty easy to tweak your tone on the fly.
They kinda missed the mark for my wants...I love my YYZ, but I’d want an off/on switch and a combined out to my amp, like the Bass Butler. Otherwise it looks great, but just not quite for me.
Yes, at this point, there are enough TECH 21 Geddy devices that I think I'd like an overview of them so that it was clear which option was better for what type of players/situations.
A combined out would have been so helpful for many of us.
On my GED2112 rack pre, you can do an internal jumper to combine the outs, or (as I do) just run both outputs to a small mixer.
I'd have bought one of these in a heartbeat if they had just included a combined out.
Even so, its a cool option for pedalboard players who don't want to mess with rack gear.

The lack of an on/off switch, 18V preamp, and dual DI's indicates that this is meant to be a true preamp in the sense of a standalone unit instead of a supplementary one. Geddy's design team is sticking to the philosophy of a unit designed for ampless applications.
It would have been cool if they added an effects loop in this unit but, that can be fixed with another pedal. For the money, I would be hard-pressed to choose between the rack-mounted preamp and the pedal unit.
