I reckon if the Aux in goes through all the processing it would be good for level matching two basses with different pickup output?

I'm going to guess about £150 for this, to compete with the Sansamp stuff. I'd have one like a shot.

Useful as a caterers cheese grater or a muscular Zither for an extreme Ukrainian nationalist dance band. bargain.

I always liked the idea of those. Loads of independent access. I use an SI digital desk so we get at our IEM mixes with ipad minis, but we all share the same input channel EQs, though we can pan as we like for each stereo mix and there is a GEQ on every out so that helps. Still, I think a setup like this with an analogue or in a small recording studio would be excellent. Enjoy!

just a fad, it'll pass.

Perhaps just a wooden support underneath running side to side that is in contact with the floor and so prevents flexing?

And Supported by Black Rivers (Doves offshoot), who have a very good LP out.

Someone tripped over the mains cable into which the bass amp i was using on friday was plugged. The D.I feed was coming directly from the amp as the FOH engineer couldn't find one that worked in time, so I lost the amp and the PA lost the DI out. And it stayed out until the berk who fell over it, plugged it back in. it wasn't my amp and I had no idea where the mains cable was routed. This was about 2 verses and a chorus. If I had used a DI box BEFORE the amp,like I always do when engineering a band rather than playing bass, there would have been bass in the PA, and in my in ears, despite the amp going down. So yes, a DI is an essential, inexpensive portable bit of kit that you need.

Immodium. Tape and a sharpie so you can mark all your cables and other sh*t, because there are going to be a lot of cables and a lot of band sh*t going in and out of venues everyday, so label yours and you might not lose it!
