nash Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I've got a small board and don't really want a preamp as I'll be using my SFT as one. What D.Is are recommended that would fit on my board? Quote
Bearfist Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I just stuck a Radial Stage Bug (SB-2) to my Metro 16, really please with it and at £65 I cant see anything better for the money out there. [attachment=201326:Board.JPG] Edited September 23, 2015 by Bearfist Quote
nash Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 awesome. nice board there dude. Those new PT are great, i have one in my tech box when I'm out on tour. Loads brighter. Quote
Bearfist Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Cheers mate! I think with the addition of the Bug I'm finally settled. Yeah really liking the new PT, you can definitely see the thing! Quote
elephantgrey Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 i have a fender micro DI, its tiny, runs off of a normal 9v supply, and has a cab sim. I have it sitting ontop of my input/output buffer (brought off of [color=#5A5A5A][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/1177-mcgraham/"]mcgraham[/url][/size][/font][/color]), only cause i really do need to get a bigger/second board.

Skybone Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Don't Mooer do a similarly tiny DI box too? Quote

Its not 100% there yet, so i will make a thread when im happy with it. Look up LSDJ if your curious about playing music on gameboys. Quote
lefrash Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Genuine question.... Why does anyone want to send you effected signal directly to foh bypassing the preamp? Especially if you have fuzz and dirt? If your playing decent sized gigs then the only folk hearing your nice amp is you? Unless I'm missing something of course.... Fraser Quote
elephantgrey Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Using a preamp pedal and a DI guarantees that you can keep your tone as similar as possible no matter what backline you have to play with. Quote

Fraser [/quote] I do it because I use a ton of dirt and I find 1 di after everything is a little fizzy/brittle sounding. I like to mic my cabs these days which smooths it out so I runs clean di from my board before all of my effect just to get some of those deep clean lows back in I might loose from the mic. I just ask the tech to blend as he see's fit, usually 20% di the rest mic, never been happier with my live sound. It's also an insurance policy, if my amp goes down FOH still gets me. If I only have one line at a gig then I will just forget about the di, as you say if you just run the di then FOH won't get any dirt or amp tone. Edited September 23, 2015 by Bearfist Quote

[/quote] They do - on eBay for just under £60 so no doubt available elsewhere a bit cheaper too. In fact, are the fender micro pedals not meant to be re-branded Mooer pedals anyway? Quote

Happy Jack Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Probably a very silly question, but if I were to use my (active) Radial SB-4 in the same way would I get any problems? I bought it for use with DB and I've been very happy with it, but all the marketing bangs on about how it's optimised for use with piezo pickups. I've rather assumed that I should steer clear of using it with electric bass. Quote
