I hope the mystery box is a cheap £21 temp purchase. I liked the Bassrig as it has none of the low mid weight of some of the others but something a little more pleasing high end which might just become more prominent in a mix.

Decided that I’m gonna mix things up with the rig this year. I normally change things up every few years. I have a Jule Simone I tentatively listed last year as I was tempted by an Anagram but realised I have very basic gigging needs. With some great preamps now available I’m up for a change! Simone Spec: Jule is a bit vague in describing his gear so I don’t have eq points etc. I do believe the eq is baxandall inspired (think broad, wide and gentle Q giving a lovely ‘global’ feel to the eq and no frequency poking out of the mix - musical would be the best description). These are boost/cut with about 10db per band either direction. The EQ is tube driven Line out is a master output and this thing has tons of output and can drive a power amp (+19dB) Sense control. 4dB gain shift in the lows and some describe it like an input sensitivity making the unit come a bit more alive in the feel. Playing with a pick and turning up the Sens add to the overall attack Boost foot switch is similar to the ‘pull control’ on the original Monique preamp and I think it boosts the sensitivity and is a fixed amount of boost. Drive adds 2dB-20db gain not dirt (also tube driven). In conjunction with the Sens control adds ‘more’ but it Is not an overdrive flubby tube sound. It adds clarity weight. All vague but listen to the demo below it is a very fair representation of the tone. Dedicated DI volume control - tube driven custom Cinemag transformer The Velcro is from when I would attach my DG Element for on the run, minimal kit IEM gigs and they paired wonderfully together. The best demo and one of the few demo’s can be seen below: he audio demos the features better than I can describe them! Recoded delivery available UK only! Pictures to follow when I get back home.

Yup agree gigged one for a few years and always flawless. -
Weighty?

Sweet really interested in hearing some thoughts after hands on experience. It does sound like the things I enjoy in a preamp.

I do but your profile says you’re in California and I’m not willing to ship internationally sorry. Unless it’s California, Falkirk 🙂

I know exactly what you mean. There’s a way of designing a tube based preamp in conjunction with transformers which just sits right, sounds right and feels right to play. For many of us a compressor adds to that but at its fundamental core tone there’s a magic from transformers which is more present, deeply analogue and has a saturation and fatness which is very different to tubes. I’ve checked out the United D.I. on you tube and it’s a solid unit. We really should meet up and chat tone some day 🙂 The BR15 does a lovely thing but it’s not everyone’s ideal sound. It’s a classic sound but quite specific. I respect your choice and applaud it! -
Many years ago I bought a Read Purity preamp and it sounded amazing. It’s not the tube sound people might think it has a clean more hi-fi type sound and I eventually gravitated to transformer based colouration. This for me is where it’s at. I still like tubes but transformer based colouration is what I’ve grown to appreciate.
