That's abdolutely clean through the old VT Bass DI with all EQ set at midnight (we're musicians, what's all this 'noon' bollox?) into a presonus i/f and garage band. When I recorded direct into the presonus it was really muffled sounding but that was probably incompetence on my part.

IIRC on the VTBDI, with the 'sansamp' circuit off, the EQ is still active. Theoretically it should have been flat with the EQ settings used. No settings were changed -- everything was the same berween basses.
What I want to do is do a comparison between amp/cab and the DG VU but a mic is pretty low on my list of priorities atm.

You will always be the much younger twin. Nothing you can do about it.

Yeah… that tends to happen when ya get a li'l older
Ain't there yet.
I tend to lean more towards an Ed McMahonesque "HIYOOOOO!!!" in circumstances such as these
If you should feel so inclined at some point… I would love to hear your sound through the Vintage Ultra and it's 2 different stages
@kat888 Check this place out. It's not the greatest website. Their pics seem pretty crappy, but with an e-mail, you could quickly find out if you (or should I say "your friend") could get what yer lookin' for…

The thing with the VU is there is considerable difference in tone depending on whether the distortion circuit is on or off. It would benefit from an extra set of EQ controls for the 'clean' channel. I suppose that's why some people run multiple dirt pedals into each other. It doesn't bother me at all as when it's actually in use the distortion circuit is always on, therefore the EQ is set accordingly.
I am coming around to the idea that I don't want the VU inline when it's not in use. Simple enough to arrange although uneven spacing between pedals may trigger Larry!

I don't think you used a carpenter's square when you stuck down the Vortex box. It looks just slightly out of square. Larry should be OK with the spacing, because the two smaller boxes together is proportionally sympathetic to the larger box by itself.
MUK!?!
Good call, Will! I’m thinking you might have an eye for proper spatial relations.
Good thing I didn’t suggest SuperMegaUltraKat!

Nah, just a miswired brain that has an odd schematic to start with.Good call, Will! I’m thinking you might have an eye for proper spatial relations.
