This is a DI output with a line or mic level. It contains a transistor preamp and EQ presets.

UTILIZATION

I often used to record the bass and guitar. I much prefer neve 1073 for bass. on the other hand for a stat in the clear, it's beautiful. I used it a few times in concert without an amp (A Ramp Grenoble) with a Precision and it is very comfortable for little there worthy returns the name.

SOUND QUALITY

It is transparent and soft. Eq presets are quite strange I think. The one I prefer is No. 2 on the Precision. On Jazzbass and Strat, I disable eq.

OVERALL OPINION

This is an excellent DI that can replace an amp Live sound if the conditions are good. Recording is essential, but Neve often come first. I think it's better on a guitar than a bass. On the low against it can be used as reinforcements of a microphone jack. For the price used is valid because it has a DI with a preamp for about 300 euros. Eq presets are rarely used in my opinion. I would have perhaps not bought new.
