I’ll agree to disagree!

The time I spend with the big trees the more I like it over the noble. The noble was a one trick pony, a fantastic trick but one only. the big trees can do clean, gritty, overdriven, fuzzy and synthy and if that’s too much you can just switch to the beautiful clean channel. I can buy (and have bought) a great DI cheaply (orchid) and an isolated power supply (the noble outputs aren’t isolated) to complement the big trees and the total including the TBT will be less than importing a noble. I did miss my noble but not anymore.

I think the clean channel of TBT is as good as Noble

Having owned both the TBT is better suited to what I want out of a preamp and the clean channel is to die for. it has more flexibility than the noble IMO

Pairs nicely with the sumo monster

Interesting use of this last night. Played a pub with two acoustic guitars and cajon. Everything through the PA but no monitoring. Used the amp out on the TBT to power a small speaker. Worked a treat.

Or just get the ONE and flip the pure switch. Then you have an EQ for the room if needed.

I had my eye on one too but settled on the TBT to try and cover all bases…..

Yep. That was the primary purchase reason. put my acoustic through the clean channel and it was unbelievable. Don’t think this can make anything sound bad.

Used it last night. Sounded great in the mix and as a bonus I was able to use the clean channel as a mute by turning it down

Ibanez CS9 clone?

Using this tonight at church practice. Straight to the board via an orchid electronics micro DI. looking forward to seeing how it does

Sounds good so far. Need to put it through its paces

It is a bit marmite!

Was unsure where to put this as it can be a preamp too amongst many other things. Received my Big Trees yesterday and had a very quick play. Initial thoughts are it sounds really good. I’ve previously owned the noble and was after an interface that could also overdrive itself. I’ve only used it for five minutes but I’m thinking this will meet my expectations.

Anyone ever get one of these?
