Petey Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Avalon U5 - Bass Pre and DI I bought this second hand for a project that didn't take off. I had it serviced and apart from some general cleaning and the transformer being slightly loose, there were no issues. I have tried it both for recording and live and it does really sound rather good - so much better than a normal pedal DI. It states that it can be used for almost any instrument including vocals in the blurbed online, and there are lots of You-tube videos praising this model. The front panel is a little worn (previous owner) as i've only had it a few months. I am sure if this bothered you (it didn't me hence I bought it), you would be able to get the front panel replaced. The rest of the unit is in very good condition. If you look on the third picture, I have tried to capture the 'Avalon Design' label on the transformer. I am based on the South Coast, just east of Portsmouth, and I would prefer if you were to travel to try before you buy. Alternately, if you wished for me to post this I would then I would securely wrap it and post pictures to you. But you would need to arrange insurance and collection. If you would like more information or pictures of certain parts of the pre-amp please let me know and i'll be more than happy to post the pics here or direct to you. £400.00 ovno Edited October 14, 2023 by Petey Sold 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMoon Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Amazing pieces of kit. I have one and have used it both in studio and live. It seems to add a little magic to any set up. Sounds immense. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
