originalfunkbrother Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Has anybody ever used the Eden WTDI World Tour Direct Box and Bass Guitar DI Preamp? I have been looking at getting one for quite a while now but just needed to check if anyone has used one before and what experiences you have had..

dudewheresmybass Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I have one. I bought it at the bass show in March. The input control is very sensitive. From what I can ascertain, it is a common thing. The output is v loud, but it sounds amazingly cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazdah Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 How is the bypass? I've read somewhere that gain and master controls still work in bypass mode. Have you compared it to a big Eden head? Some people claim it pretty much nails the tone, some say that it sounds really poor. I've played WT-500 and I'm in love. I'd like to have a part of Eden sound in my rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I just got hold of one of these (£94 new) and used it for the first time at a gig on Sunday. I didn't have time to look at it properly and, when I switched it on, it sounded 'kin terrible so I ditched it for the night. Last night I got the pedal out at home and tried it as a DI into my audio interface. After a little time spent tweaking it, it sounded 'kin fantastic. The knobs are really sensitive so you don't have to move them very far to make a difference but, after a few minutes of adjusting things, my Wal sounded really rich and even and lost that overly transparent sound you often get when you plug into a audio interface. Think valves instead of transistors Happy bunny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Yep, as I've mentioned on other threads, I use one every week to DI into the PA so I don't have to lug or risk inebriated idiots punters resting / spilling drinks on top of my amp. As Bilbo says, it's sensitive & takes a little fine-tuning, but sounds ace once you've tweaked it to suit. Also works very well with the Eden Glowplug pedal, which has a 12AX7 valve to 'warm up' the tone. ( @lozkerr has one of these too).

Adamparker Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I use one of these every weekend at least as a DI into my PA. Never had an issue with it, does exactly what I need in terms of giving me a tone I like. I'd thoroughly recommend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
