These may not be the Sound of Dan's excellent DI, but man at this price! I told a guy 2 weeks ago at $90ea he should just grab 2, now he's pissed, but says they were a bargain and worth every penny |

A mate of mine's ex-missus was addicted to bargain stores. Their house was so full of stuff that had never been opened you could hardly move. Then one day I went to the bathroom and noticed the shower recess was stacked right up to the shower head with about two dozen unopened plastic picnic sets. Plastic plates, bowls, knives and forks and picnic rugs all in baskets. I asked him were they opening an eBay store to sell all this stuff that was in the house? He said "No" I asked how come she had bought so many picnic sets. He said she screwed down the sales person in the bargain shop and then bought two dozen... because they were cheap. I asked him how often do you go on picnics? He said "Never". I then asked how do you take a shower if it is full of picnic sets? He looked at me and said... "Did you all see those boxes of deodorant stacked in the front porch? She got them cheap too!"  |

I have some DI's around too, but in live sound, you can never have too many. These Type 85's can also take a speaker level signal, so you can stick it between your tube head and speaker cabinet to capture some of that tube goodness.  |

The only DI's I'm still looking at getting are some passive Jensen's such as maybe a Radial Duplex. Have a Reddi, several 500 series pre's with DI inputs (2x JLM BA500, 2x Sound Skulptor MP566 tube pre's etc) and a couple of dual input Seventh Circle Audio DI's I haven't yet built. |

Those preamp DI's don't have a thru to an amp right? Those don't count then. Give me amps or give me death! |

Anyone with a Kemper that likes to make profiles may like these too, since they can take a feed from the speaker output of an amp, and feed the Kemper via XLR "without requiring phantom power". The advantage of doing that is that you can make a speaker out profile, as well as a mic'ed cab profile and merge them. Then you can disable the speaker emulation from the direct out to feed a real speaker cab, while feeding the DAW (or FOH) with the mic'ed cab profile. This allows a guitar player to have a traditional Amp experience, while reaping the benefits of the Kemper's direct feed capability at the same time. Other DIs that can take a speaker output (and still feed the speaker to provide a load to the amp) require phantom power, which the Kemper does not provide. The Countryman can run off a battery if you like. Kemper sells a DI designed for making these types of profiles, but it ONLY does that. It won't work as a regular instrument DI. The Countryman also has a 10 Meg input impedance, so low output passive instruments will like that, and even piezo pickups will be loaded properly. Most amps and DIs are about 2.2Meg (some lower) so passive instruments can get pretty anemic, especially with long cable runs. These are solid DIs, and at $40 they are definitely worth having around. ^ For anyone that didn't know, but might care. |

I'm going to pass, but thanks for putting this together, Eric! I should just state to everyone that RGO is not responsible for the transactions and is in no way liable for the sale of these items.

May I trouble the community with a question?
How important or useful is having a DI which can accept a "speaker level"? How many folks use this regularly?
The reason I ask is that a new Pueblo Audio DI is in final pre-release design and may consider adding such a feature, last minute, if valuable
Thanks!

It's more of a live sound feature. I try and use it if I run out of mics on a live gig, or I don't want the mic changing the tone. Sometimes it works and other times it loads the amp oddly, causing unwanted distortion. This is with tube amps, SS amps don't care.

The reason I ask is that a new Pueblo Audio DI is in final pre-release design and may consider adding such a feature, last minute, if valuable Thanks! If you can do it without adding to much cost and make it work do it, But having seen your other gears price point, much more important sub $200 street where the buyer is looking at the feature comparison on insert favorite favorite website. I'll bet 90% who have the feature never use it , and if they think of using it , want to use it with a cool tube amp and find it sucks! That said great way to get control of the guy with a 100w stack that live turns out to be an audio version of a laser beam ( but looks cool and is always aimed right at FOH cause the guy with the big loud stack cares that FOH can here only him but the other 179.9 degrees of listeners can't ! but it look cool and takes up all that truck space and weighs a ton)! My shrink thought I was bitter till he spent a night at FOH! |

The reason I ask is that a new Pueblo Audio DI is in final pre-release design and may consider adding such a feature, last minute, if valuable Thanks! It's pretty useful. A handful of the latest amps I've bought have "Line out" from the output section, essentially a highly padded down version of the speaker output. When used with a speaker load, they make pretty good DI sources like this, because you get the tone of the amp too. I also have a few amps that do not have this feature, and I wish they did, so having a DI that can take a speaker level would be pretty cool in these cases. |

I've used it regularly with an old SVT or V4 head. I want that Ampeg tone in the DI signal. |

I have to echo a couple comments you've gotten from the others: I have a DI line out on my Ampeg V4-B Anniversary bass head - I think it's post-master volume but I know for sure it's post preamp gain and EQ. It's absolutely fantastic to have around, for sure! I like to drive bass amps into a bit of scuzziness but oftentimes the cab always ends up smoothing that out. Having that DI sound coming after the preamp gain, EQ, etc., is really nice for studio or live. |

Thanks for all the input, amigos!
I am a little surprised the response is a solid YES. I myself have not used that technique. Just the way the cards have fallen that my artists have had heads with built-in "mic level outs". Or the direct instrument signal was preferred in the final analysis. Very interesting.
Do y'all still use the speaker in tandem, 50/50, or...?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

On tube amps you HAVE to use it or risk damaging the amp. |

Actually, it's not that model. I got mine in 2005 or 2006 new from a store but I'm having a hard time finding information about it right now. There are a few used listings out there but there's not much regarding information. It came with a 6X10 matching cab. It's a little bit less retro looking than that version but it's similarly 100 watts tube with similar connections on the back. All I know is I love how it sounds, live engineers love how it sounds, bands coming into my space love how it sounds, and good friends (and some not-so-good-friends) of mine are constantly asking to borrow it because of how it sounds. It's really similar to this ( www.ampeg.com/pdf/V4BH.pdf ) but it's silver and, if I remember correctly, it's noted with some sort of AV in the name. Ha! Found one just like it! I was starting to think I was crazy! www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Ampeg-V4BAV-Bass-Stack-USA-Made-Limited-Edition-Vintage-Cloth-/222059771962?hash=item33b3cb383a%3Ag%3AWmIAAOSwoudW7uE8&nma=true&si=VQxw03FEZLK%252FDc21iiy0nhAMh7k%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557One guy was trying to sell his in NY in 2011, too: www.talkbass.com/threads/ampeg-anniversary-set-1200.729107/That's just like the one I have. When I bought it from a weird little shop in a 17,000 population town I thought "this will be cool." It's turned out to be a fantastic amp that I've played a ton of shows with since then. I'm not one for collecting pieces; it's not an amp unless it's putting out sound! Part of me thinks "I should have taken much better care of mine." But then I think of all the shows it's played and I just can't help but know I made the right decision. |

Or maybe you could make two models, with one including a very-high-quality soaker so that a speaker isn't required even with a high-wattage tube amp? |
