The Great Bass Preamp/DI Comparison

Any word on a tasty bass clip or two of that Beelzebub? That's one I'd definitely like to hear. ;);)

5sg.

Thanks for the nudge! I'll get on that.

I like it quite a bit. To my ears it adds that beefy/chewy/tubey/wide bottom tone that would be great in a blues or more roots oriented type of setting.

I've been gigless but am subbing at a big church over July 4th. I'm interested to hear what the sound people say.

Just stumbled across this looking for something else. This is actually a little exciting as someone who loved their Tech21 RPM Rack mount! The aesthetics sitting next to an LA-1A would be very pleasing also...
I think they are just starting to ship in the last few weeks.

I didn't get on with the small pedal well as I found it a bit limited. Now I have to go read about this.
 
Just a couple pics of the DiCosimo 360+ . Really great build quality. I just got this in.... haven't had a chance to try it out yet, I need to get a power supply (no battery option). I'll give it a full run through when I get a chance.

I almost pulled the trigger on one of those, but couldn't find any decent demos to know what I was getting into. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it so I can live vicariously through you.

It'll be a bit. I'm gonna have to order a power supply. I am recovering from chemo and radiation treatments, so I can't hit the local GC and just pick one up :( And since I'm putting together a second board, I don't wanna spend $25+ on a single supply, when I'm gonna have to buy a board supply anyway. Just trying to decide on the right PS for this boards needs currently...

That's quite the retirement fund you've got going there. If it would help, you could send me the Super Stack. I'm here to help. Anything for a fellow bassist from America's High Five.

Edit: Sorry. What I meant to say was . . . dibs.

Thinking you might have missed my previous post about it, but I'd be quite curious as to your thoughts/comparisons on how the Particle Accelerator's 6N21B tube compares to full size 12A*7 tubes for "that tube sound."

Also, since everyone is already making dibs... :roflmao: I'd interested in that Oracle if you decide to move it on and the timing is right on my end.

Someone needs to send this man a Studio One for a proper review (send one to me as well if you have a spare).
