DI is an analog tube (a 6NP1) with a transformer (Cinemag output if I remember correctly).
It has an unbalanced input combo jack / XLR, XLR balanced output to an output and through (which only shows the signal as it is entered).
It has only one potentiomettre level (the signal always comes back to - 16 db - and serves attenuator knob).
There is an adapter for rack REDDI two side by side.
For DI, its size and weight are impressive, and it's solid.
It is also equipped with a blue LED so powerful that can shut off all the lights in the studio.
UTILIZATION
Once connected it is sufficient to adjust the level. Its use could not be simpler.
SOUND QUALITY
DI is a specially designed to record low (the manufacturer referred to the sound of the Ampeg B-15 Portaflex in its design) but it also works great with guitars on which it softens the highs too aggressive (I've never used a keyboard but I heard she was doing very well on this type of instruments).
The sound that comes out is thick, punchy, warm and well defined. It colors the sound of a very pleasant way through the very musical harmonic distortion, while meeting the beautifully sound of the instrument.
I use a MusicMan Stingray known to produce a sound huge, but even relatively cold metal. Once I passed through the low REDDI sound becomes even bigger but also warm and silky. In short, I feel I play a Stingray tube.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since August 2009.
Usually I record a direct without treatment (other than a low-cut filter at 20Hz), then I double the track and apply treatments (simulation MarkBass amp, EQ, compression, saturation ...) only the second track. Then I mix the sound tracks of the two obtained by focusing, in terms of volume, track untreated. And, honestly, it sounds!
Before I had a bass pod xt with which I could produce a sound mushy difficult to place in a mix. DI if not outright, I already use the entries Hiz my sound card (blah) and I just tried the Avalon U5 DI excellent but tended to increase the side of my cold and metallic Stingray.
What I like most: the big sound, ease of use.
What I like least: it must be heated laiseer at least half an hour before use if you want big sound.
I bought it brand new 650 euro in Brussels. it may seem expensive, but frankly I advise all bass players to try it. This is the best investment I made for my home studio. In 30 years, it will certainly be one of the most sought after vintage gear.
