wateroftyne Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Boxes in progress... looks like a pretty hands-on process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Good to see things moving on the R-400's too. Have to say i'm so chuffed with the WB-100 and i'm sure Leszek will have put the same effort into everything he does. My original concerns about not being loud enough have been put to rest as i've never gone above 11 o'clock on the master with Gain between 12 and 2 o'clock.

Dave Sorry - totally forgot to reply to this. Here's Leszek's instructions. 3x 0.25W - 1k resistors Leszek suggested using other values for the RC resistors: 1x - 0.25W - 470ohm resistor 1x - 0.25W - 2k resistor ..but I went with 1k from the start, and it's just the job. Gigged it last night and it's great to be able to drive the preamp 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez for hand crafted boxes... this must be really labor intensive and costly.. Have to say, it doesn't seem reflected in the price..

I haven't gigged my WB-100 yet (band hiatus) but should resume gigging soon so would be good to have this in the cables bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cloud stick it out of the way with an XLR either side of it, tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I’ve gigged my wb100 probably 20 times or so, maybe more. I’ve never had anyone say the DI is hot. that said, I run the gain at 4 max and the master volume up full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely smashes lower-end desks and my Scarlett interface, tho. The adapter brings it pretty much in line with my R400. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just coming back to this @wateroftyne would this do the job, affixed to an XLR cable to keep it out of the way of the front of the amp?

Came straight to me from Parcelforce. The 2nd one had £47 additional taxes etc. thru Customs. Seems to be a hit or miss whether it goes thru customs checks for additional charges ???
