  1. I came to this conclusion too a few years ago with lots of gigs abroad without my own amp and gigs in the UK where they would produce Behringer (and worse!) DI boxes to plug into.

    My experience is that slightly smaller boxes (Aguillar Tonehammer / MXR DI / or similar) are very good build quality, fit on a pedal board and provide a sound quality which is basically as good as the U5 / REDDI. They're cheaper and more portable too (both the U5 / REDDI are an extra bag / flight case). So that's where I'd look.

  2. Another thread where everyone is probably right in their own way....

    My experience:

    1) When touring you have no idea what amp you may have so DI-ing from the pedal allows you to know exactly what sound you are sending. Plus you often can't tour with a rig so your own preamp / DI is vital.

    2) easier and cheaper to buy a range of pre-amps for different sounds then buying new amps

    3) silent pit work without an amp needs a good pre-amp/DI

    I've a range of pre-amp pedals for different sounds / styles and it's great. I know I'm always sending a great sound FOH whatever the situation.

  3. Super chap. Bought his Octavius Squeezer - was a bit worried about it as was a lot of cash to spend on a 2nd hand pedal but it was packed super well, brill comms and all as described. Thanks so much! Ian
