REDDI versus JDI shootout

To the OP , take the result as a compliment on your bass tone ;
People perfered the uncolored/direct one.

I would.......

I'm not within 100 mi of Detroit besides i have too much stuff as it is.

Aw, come on! I'll ship it. I don't have too much stuff and I like to keep it that way.

uncolored, eh? yeah, it's totally uncolored going through another preamp and then through people's computer systems. if you say so...

OK OK OK , less colored than #2

That was meant as a compliment to the OP if you didn't get it.

I'll stay with my Countryman.

If I owned a studio, I might buy a REDDI.

Apples n oranges. But the best at their game. I plan on ordering a JDI for my active 'Rays and a Countryman for my passive P.

yeah, the Great River NV1 is known for it's color; adding a lot of "iron" to the sound.

Nope, same take.

JDI = clip 1

REDDI = clip 2

Very subtle differences to me. The REDDI has a bit more "bite" to it, a tiny bit thicker and more aggressive. It feels/responds a bit better too, to me.

I really like the REDDI, but it really is the last 1% tone wise... very high diminishing returns at this point IMO. I'll probably be keeping it, but it makes you think.

I'll try to post up some passive bass clips in the future, but it might take a month or two. Difference might be more apparent then (complete conjecture though... I've never used a passive bass with either of them).

Nice. If you have an active bass and are looking for a DI for live performance (and want a reasonably accurate representation of your instruments signal), there is VERY little reason to buy anything but a JDI... simply the best DI for active basses regarding quality, tone, size, price, reliability, etc.

Amazing DI.


Things get a little more complicated with passive basses.
