Last night I had the distinct pleasure of running an extended test of my new DI, designed and built by our own Dan Deurloo. My initial impression is that this box is the DI/pre that I have been searching for:
I ordered the thing on Monday and Dan shipped the minute he received my payment. USPS did the rest, just two days from Minnesota to my place in the desert southwest. Outstanding! Thanks Dan!
The only downside is that now I feel compelled to reamp every bass part already printed! Or maybe I should make my bassist throw down new performances: (. . . sorry Man, but PT crashed, and all of your tracks were lost. No, not anything else, just your work . . .)
- It has plenty of gain, adjustable by the single volume/output control
- The tone it imparts is beautiful: it's full-bodied, with balanced response across all frequencies. The character of my J-Bass is emphasized, for lack of a better way to put it. I want to avoid using the "tube sound" cliche here, but it is clear that the circuit design is responsible for the very euphonic sound of this box. It blows my passive DI right into a storage drawer, forever
- It has a low noise floor so the available gain is usable
