REDDI Tube DI Mega Thread . Potential megathread that is.

You guys all got some cool cases but I have to say I'm doing pretty well with the Tuki cover I got for it. Won't protect it in the back of a trailer during a hurricane but it works for what I do.
I'll tell you, I never fail to be amazed by this thing. I've used it on several different PA's now, and none of the soundmen on these gigs have ever used one, and without fail their minds get blown. The one big comment is how fat the high notes sound compared to a regular DI. Uh-huh!!!
The one thing I haven't got to do yet is plug it into a heavy duty arena line array PA. That'll be changing next week. Got a gig at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood FL with Bowzer and 5 other 50's-60's acts. I only wish I could play the show in the audience!

MF is having a 15% sale for Memorial Day, which would get the REDDI down to a touch over $600. Good price?

Actually it's a patch cable from my studio. I plan on getting a better cable, just picky about the length.
Funny how the plumbing gremlin shows up just when you think things are fine. I'm thankful I didn't pull the trigger on this or a combo I've always wanted that is out of production. I called a plumber today, and got, "You do realize it's a Holiday??" back at me. I'm hoping it isn't as bad as I think it might be. REDDI still out of reach.
I sympathize. Plumbing problems suck. Hope you get it fixed. There will be other sales, but you always need water and toilets!
Don't worry about missing out on the 15% off from MF. That's how I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and it seems at least lately that they're been running that discount quite often. Good luck with the plumbing issues!!
Sadly, The estimate came in at a touch over $2200. You're right, plumbing issues do suck indeed!
Oofa! Wow, that's a high bill! But small price to pay for running water and a comfy place to unload 
Wow, and I thought the REDDI sounded amazing through club PA's. But through a line array in an arena, forget about it! We did the Hard Rock Live gig tonight, and I about pooped when I heard it through the FOH and the side fills! Fantastic sound crew who were completely into it as well. They supplied backline and had a BSS DI waiting for me, but when I told them I brought a REDDI they couldn't take down that BSS fast enough
I know I should be over the honeymoon phase by now, but every new PA is a new honeymoon. Just can't stop raving about it.

I got the one with the cubed foam and it works perfectly for the REDDI. I highly recommend it.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
I've heard Muse and I like them, but I wouldn't know what any of them look like even if they were wearing shirts that said, "I'm a member of Muse."
But that is some awesome product placement!
