Thanks
I know it has a 6 band EQ, and I know how it works having had the amp and various other DG products and of course the combination is good, but you specifically mentioned the power amp trumping others out there, that is what I am interested in and was hoping you could shed some more light on
Ok - I know you are not familiar with the mentioned Tech21 products
But
Are the features on the M900 amp combined with the DP3X pedal exactly the same as what is available on the dUg amp from what you can see?
Yes
Rack tuner is pittance if you want, clip on/pedal etc, or stack the DP3X into the dUg
We all know the EQ/drive section can be bypassed if you want.
Whats so special about the DG power amp compared to others?
BTW when you say power amps do you mean pure power amps, or actual amps and the power section?
If it’s amps, How many have you run side by side as a slave bypassing the EQ to compare the signal?
It’s more than cute, it’s highly intuitive and gives a vast array of sounds precisely because of the parallel paths.
Price wise i got mine for not much more than the V2 DG head on here second hand.
Jump out of 1 round of drinks in a London pub and you practically have the difference
If you are looking for settings it’s probably worth extending to AO Ultra users as essentially it’s the pedal with a power amp - usual caveats playing styles, basses, strings playing position, pick, fingers etc
Personally i think Olinto look mint and would love to play one - but what you say about feel is spot on - for me a combination. Of bought basses and bitsa’s basses give me what i like
The Musicman Stingray Old Smoothie model intentionally had the strings not aligned over the pole pieces

Not doing a Mas Hino on you, but how much does pole piece alignment matter - OCD type issues aside, and yes i am not talking wildly off, but is it huge?!
