NancyJohnson Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Although I'd identify as a bit of a whore for Tech 21 kit, I'm presently down to a single unit (the dUg) and admit that I do still feel somewhat let down by their aftercare following the failure of the rack GED-2112. Due to inactivity caused by the virus, I've been playing less, but the newish DI-2112 has picqued my interest, but at £400 I'm unsure whether I can justify pulling the trigger on this, given the dUg does everything I want, given I previously described this unit as being like the GED on steroids. Anyone bought one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I’d be interested to find out as well, love my Tech21 gear as well. Currently for me tho, DP3X, dUg amp and PSA 2.0 cover a lot of territory, it would have to go some to edge in or replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Same, I love Tech21 gear, it does sound good in that demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent a few hours with it, trying to get the tone I want on its own and interacting with the other pedals on my board but I'm not there yet. Due to the lockdown I haven't been to a rehearsal studio to play through a rig at decent levels so I haven't come to any conclusions yet but... There are 2 channels. The 'deep' channel has a pre baked in Geddy eq with just level and saturation adjustments available. This appears to be a drop at 80Hz and a bump at 400 Hz ish. I'm not certain as I've been fiddling with the levels on the 2nd channel 'drive' to try to replicate the deep channel and the above alterations get me close, but I am playing this through an Elf, which has a baked in slight mid scoop when the eq is flat. The 'drive' channel has a very useful parametric mid shift (from 170 Hz to 3Khz). So far the best tone I have got has been with a blend of the two channels but it is early days yet. I'll post in the pedal board section too, with comments about how the other pedals on the board interact with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the two channels can be blended; there's a toggle switch inside the unit that can be accessed inside via one of the battery boxes (it's under/behind the fascia and located next to the 'mute' button). I suppose this works like the jumper thing on the rack unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech21NYC Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The toggle switch can be used to combine the channels. On the newer units there is a mix output on the Drive channel. If you only use that one output the channels are automatically combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now then, how do Basschat users wangle some discount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this works like the jumper thing on the rack unit. You pull out the plastic battery cover and poke your finger in. There is a button to press, directly under where it should be had they included it as a button pin the top, next to the mute button. It's straightforward.

The deal seems to be over now, unfortunately. I find using this with the 'Tight'; button engaged really improves the sound through my MarkBass amp, which I'm realising is a bit too dark.
