    Was the pedal going to mic or line level. If not paired properly it will be seriously overpowering the pa. 

    Hmm, good question. I have no knowledge of PAs but I plugged it in to the same socket as the mics but on a different channel. Should I be looking for a line level socket?

    How good is the PA?

    If it’s not meant to really handle bass and only vocals in a practice room/studio, it will sound utter crap no matter what Preamp you use.

    I will give a big thumbs up to the other 2 you mentioned though 

    Okay, that makes sense. The studio has pretty cheap gear (Behringer I think) so I guess it's probably just meant for vocals. I thought PAs all handled similar frequencies. I guess venue PA systems are meant to handle a lot more bass and volume so hopefully it would be okay. If it sounded like it did at rehearsal I think I'd walk off stage!!

    Thanks for the recommendation on the Tech 21 stuff too, I really like the sound of the Dug Pinnick model.

    Cheers for your input!

  3. Hi,

    Apologies if I ask silly questions. I'm still new to the world of bass (started as guitarist) and am getting myself ready to start gigging. From what I've read, a lot of venues prefer bass to be DI wherever possible so I'm trying to cover all bases with my pedalboard.

    I bought a Darkglass Vintage Ultra v1 as I thought it would be perfect for this purpose. I was at band practice the other day and the studio's amp was playing up so I thought it would be the perfect time to test the DI on the pedal. I ran an XLR cable from the pedal to the PA and it sounded awful... for want of a better term, "farty". Completely unusable. 

    Am I doing something wrong? I noticed the DGVU v2 has a cab simulation button... am I supposed to run mine in to a cab sim pedal before the PA?

    Seriously thinking of ditching this pedal and getting a Sansamp or the Dug Pinnick pre amp but I don't know if I will have the same issues.

     

    Thanks

    Please, throw a short comment on why you want to separate from it? Something else came along or...?

    This would be very helpful, as there are lots of praising comments on stuff (when people acquire something) but less notes on why certain unit had to leave.

    Hi... it has sold now but I guess it could help you still. I simply can't find a realistic use for a synth pedal. I have bought a few because I love the idea of them, but after playing with them for a couple of hours I never seem to use them again. This is the best sounding synth pedal I've owned though.

    I also bought a Helix HX Effects so if I ever get the urge there are synth sounds on there.
