I need to change my setup a bit to do a proper test. At the moment I'm using the DI on my Effectrode LA-1A, so I need to keep it always on, but I want to test it (with compression dialled to zero) against the More to see how close it sounds. I usually use my Quad Cortex for this kind of thing (especially with headphones), but it's heading to the shop for repairs.
Impressions when you have time please.
Over here it's Labor Day (a pause from our Laboring). Over there -- not so much. So hop to it!![]()
Same combo (enclosure + led) as my UA that is somewhere in transit, glad I went with it, looks reeeally good to meoh, and one last shot:

You're a good friendI realize that's kind of vague and tantalizing, so I feel obliged to mention that 'my friend' isn't on TB.
Actually, he's a guitar player.
He'll never see this one coming and tubes for the win!
If you think you'll want a tonestack, get the UA. If you don't think you'll need the tonestack, get the SH. The tonestack is literally the only difference between the two. SH gets more gain because of the lossiness of the tonestack, but all new UA's have the tonestack bypass switch so your UA can pretend it's a SH anytime you want.Any comments on Space Heater vs UA? I know they share some topology, so is there any reason to get the SH if I was already looking at the UA? Planning for it to be a nice tone sweetener and sometimes drive for bass and guitar.
Finally !
Sadly, I've way overspent over the course of the summer and I'm playing catch-up now. Need to hold off on any "frivolous" spending for the time being.Friendly reminder that September ordering is closing in about 24 hours, planning to shut it down at midnight, central time.
As of the writing of this post, there are still 19 slots available.
And if you do not need or want the tone stack but would love a great DI then get the Finally.If you think you'll want a tonestack, get the UA.
