    *SOLD* FS (UK): ADL 300-G, stereo tube DI - will ship worldwide

    [quote name='tayste_2000' post='574378' date='Aug 19 2009, 04:18 PM']Cascade I meant Bass into ch1 then output (tube) into ch2 :)

    Would that work?

    So the gain knob show is purely for the output level of the line out?

    So by turning this gain knob to full does it distort or just send a really hot signal out? Or both?[/quote]

    Cascade I meant Bass into ch1 then output (tube) into ch2 :rolleyes: Would that work? Man, you are really putting me through my paces! He he. Well, I tried it and it works no problem. I think (but it my be psychoacoustics at play here!) it sounds really tubey and warm. More pronounced tube compression. Hmm. Nice idea you had there!

    So the gain knob show is purely for the output level of the line out? Yes, it is engaged when the "THRU TUBE" switch is on.

    So by turning this gain knob to full does it distort or just send a really hot signal out? Or both? Sends a really hot signal. No distortion as such, but, in theory, more tubeyness, I suppose, as it's the tubes are doing more work.

    [quote name='tayste_2000' post='574331' date='Aug 19 2009, 03:45 PM']Ok just got a few more questions if you don't mind.

    Is it possible to cascade the channels into each other?

    Are the outputs line or instrument level?

    Is the DI protected from Phantom Power? (Say some numpty soundman turns it on live is the box going to explode?)

    Is this robust enough for live use? It will be racked of course :)

    Does it get particularly hot during a 2 hour running period?[/quote]


    Is it possible to cascade the channels into each other? If you mean mix down to one channel, no. But, you quite simply accomplish this with some sort of blender.

    Are the outputs line or instrument level? There are two outputs for each channel - one a balanced XLR (labelled "MIC OUT") for traditional DI style use, the other a jack output (labelled "TO AMP"), for connecting directly to your amplifier. This "TO AMP" output also has an additional gain knob, if you need a bit more juice. I have used it very successfully both as a studio DI (i.e. straight to the mixing console/desk) and as part of a live rig, direct to my Schertler PUB 280 powered speaker.

    Is this robust enough for live use? Yes, definitely. All metal construction and built to last.

    Does it get particularly hot during a 2 hour running period? Warm, but definitely not hot.

    Hope that helps.

    [quote name='tayste_2000' post='574222' date='Aug 19 2009, 02:30 PM']Don't suppose you've ever directly compared this to a Summit TD-100?[/quote]
    Strangely enough, yes I have directly compared this to the Summit TD-100, as well as the Millennia TD-1 and REDDI. I found this to be the cleanest while still retaining that nice tube character. The Millennia was also great, but almost too clean, even with the tube engaged. The Summit was okay, but I just found it to be nothing special. The REDDI was nice, but in the end, I felt this unit just had something that made me keep coming back for more. I went through a phase of trying to find the perfect DI for a very critical recording project, hence all the experience with high end DIs.

    This DI isn't made any more, but it was designed by one of the best in the business - Fred Forssell - who, if the name isn't familiar to you, is very highly regarded in the pro audio world. According to the website, ADL still support this unit, so if you ever have any problems/questions, they will be able to help.

    Cheers,

    Douglas.

    P.S. really hoping to sell this very quickly to pay the rent at the end of the month, so if you're serious, PM me with an offer!

    *SOLD* FS (UK): Peterson V-SAM Strobe Tuner

    I have an excellent Peterson V-SAM strobe tuner for sale. This is really great, but surplus to requirements. I found it was just a bit too big for taking to gigs, so I'm going to go for something more compact.

    A great chance for someone to get their hands on one of these class leading tuners!

    Looking for [b]£80 / $130 [color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color][/b]

    Will ship worldwide for free.





    The fascia has been a bit marked (as you can clearly see from the photo), but it is merely cosmetic and the unit is otherwise functioning perfectly.

    Cheers,

    Douglas.

    [color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color]

    ADL 300-G stereo tube DI. Excellent condition.

    I will consider offers around the $375 / £230 mark and will ship worldwide at a reasonable price,

    If you're serious, make me an offer.

    For more info:

    And a (bassist oriented) video here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da9DpI8sk9g"]YouTube - Anthony DeMaria Labs ADL300G Stereo Tube DI[/url]

    NB - Currently has a UK plug and is set up for 220V use. The unit can accept 100, 120, 220 230 or 240 volts at 10 watts, so using it anywhere with 100-120-V, you'll need to replace the fuse (which is easily done, as there's a little removable compartment on the back of the chassis).

    [quote name='d-basser' post='357657' date='Dec 18 2008, 10:58 AM']yeah, some other bloke tried it the day before me and didn't take it!!! more the fool him[/quote]
    I'm the "some other bloke".

    I liked it, but for me I decided the neck was just a bit too shallow and the string spacing was just a bit too close together. Also, I needed it for pit work and I would have had to get the pre-amp properly seen to - couldn't be sure it was 100% reliable. And there was a dent near the tone pots (cosmetic issue only). But the main reason is that I wasn't particularly in the market for a 6 string. Certainly a great deal for the money, though - I was tempted. Nice purchase!

    Douglas.
