New Tech 21 Geddy Lee DI-2112

Not trying to be a party pooper but, fans of this preamp owe it to themselves to try out the Ampeg SVP-BSP. Albeit, a different flavor of clean and OD, it shares many of the features and has a combined output. It also features dual DI's with pot trims.

I will more than likely have the GEDD 2112 rack pre because I really like how it sounds.

So does the Bass Butler by Orange(which is more my flavor of dirt).
Just another option. Tech21 makes some fine stuff too, though.
 
I noticed there is a level control and mid shift that I didn't notice before. I used another pedal for dirt, but used the YYZ's high channel for brilliance on my signal, while using the Deep to add much needed lows to my other overdrive(was using the YYZ as a mastering EQ).
The problem was, I had to play a lot with levels bc I was using just enough grit on the high channel so I could get any sound at all. This seems to solve that, now there's a question about bridging the two channels.
 
Hopefully there will be an internal jumper to combine the channels. Not concerned about an on/off switch but I do wish the mute switch was a stomp button. Not a deal breaker though. Can't be mad at Tech21 for giving us more options of a great product.

Maybe this would help if not able to be jumped:
Mini Stereo SUM or Mono Split
