ryancowell25 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Having recently acquired a new amp head I'm now in the situation of having this spare. It's an exceptional setup. The Avalon U5 sounds great and is considered one of the best DI's on the market. Coupled with the Drivecore you have a clean and powerful rig that really brings out the tone of your instrument. You can find details and specs here [url="http://www.crownaudio.com/usa/xls-drivecore.html"]http://www.crownaudi...-drivecore.html[/url] [url="http://www.avalondesign.com/instrudi.html"]http://www.avalondes...m/instrudi.html[/url] You'll also find some clips of the U5 here - [url="http://basstasters.com/preamps/Avalon_U5.html"]http://basstasters.c.../Avalon_U5.html[/url] Weight wise the Crown is about 8.6 pounds and the U5 is 12 pounds. Altogether your looking at a very manageable weight of just over 20 pounds with case. This is all new equipment and is still in warranty. It all comes rack mounted in a Gator case. I will also provide a speakon cable that will allow you to run the Crown bridged mono which will give you 700w at 8ohms and 1100w at 4 ohms. Trust me it's plenty loud. I've put a fair bit of money into putting this together along with the cost of the rack ears, case and specialist speakons. Therefore i'd be looking to sell for £550 couriered UK PM with any questions. Edited August 10, 2012 by ryancowell25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carld Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi, This is a really daft question and i'm sorry in advance. I notice just a tone control. Is this enough EQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) There are 6 basic tone control presets and I've not had any problems with EQ on gigs. I do run a VT bass pedal in front of it sometimes as well which would be ideal if your concerned with having some more flexible control. If your concerned check out the manual here and that will give you a solid idea of the tone shaping presets - http://www.avalondesign.com/pdfs/u5.pdf Edited August 10, 2012 by ryancowell25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Review here of the Avalon with a poweramp [url="http://www.avalondesign.com/review25.html"]http://www.avalondes...m/review25.html[/url] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]"We preferred TONE positions 1 and 3 for fingerstyle playing and position 2 for slapping. Position 4 sounded the flattest of the EQ curves, and the rolled-off bass positions 5 and 6 might be useful in especially boomy live situations, or when you need to really cut through a recording. In short, all the TONE position sounded useful given the right circumstances."[/color][/size][/font] Edited August 10, 2012 by ryancowell25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
