Tube DI Shootout

[dcurran]

Hey guys I recorded a few different DI's to see if there are any differences in tone. I posted them on my soundcloud. Let me know if you have any other DI recommendations.

Well, Retrospec Juice Box.

 

[dcurran]

I'm hoping to get my hands on one. Also the Noble bass DI.

That's an great way to go comparison clips. Thanks for that. You should try the obligatory Avalon U5 and the Sonic Farm 2DI4 as well.

Summit Audio TD100

I am out of town until the end of the month. But, maybe when can arrange a swap for a few days. My Juice Box for something comparable.

If you ever go through Central Florida, I usually have at least a couple of esoteric and overpriced (boutique?) preamps that you can record through if you want.

Not to be fussy, but do you have access to the rh450/rh750? Transfomer coupled, plus great pre-amp (including compression, EQ, tube harmonics, etc)...

That "Blue Sky" demo is the Glockenklang amp, right? Whatever it is, it sounds great!
I also like the Reddi and the SVT DI, but that Blue Sky demo is phaaaat ... wow!

Ops, recommendations ... well, if you could get your hands on the pretty new Rupert Neve Design RNDI or the Aguilar Tone Hammer DI / amp, that would be fantastic.

Totally just sold a REDDI box with your demo - it was heads and shoulders above the others in terms of tone.

New posting today on the soundcloud. Check it out

Can you share any information about EQ and post processing? Were the preamp signals all sent to the recorder at the same level or did you equalize in post? Any EQ to bass signal applied? Did you compress the bass signal and if so what were the parameters? These online services often add their own compression so any info would be appreciated - thanks!

 

[kesslari]

If you can, try the Sonic Farm 2di4.

I'd like to recommend the Teegarden Audio Fatboy.
And thanks for doing these recordings. I enjoyed it.
