Thanks guys, I'll have a play with it next session. Just want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible when I start gigging.

Hmm, good question. I have no knowledge of PAs but I plugged it in to the same socket as the mics but on a different channel. Should I be looking for a line level socket?

I just made an offer on one in the for sale section!

Okay, that makes sense. The studio has pretty cheap gear (Behringer I think) so I guess it's probably just meant for vocals. I thought PAs all handled similar frequencies. I guess venue PA systems are meant to handle a lot more bass and volume so hopefully it would be okay. If it sounded like it did at rehearsal I think I'd walk off stage!! Thanks for the recommendation on the Tech 21 stuff too, I really like the sound of the Dug Pinnick model. Cheers for your input!

Hi, Apologies if I ask silly questions. I'm still new to the world of bass (started as guitarist) and am getting myself ready to start gigging. From what I've read, a lot of venues prefer bass to be DI wherever possible so I'm trying to cover all bases with my pedalboard. I bought a Darkglass Vintage Ultra v1 as I thought it would be perfect for this purpose. I was at band practice the other day and the studio's amp was playing up so I thought it would be the perfect time to test the DI on the pedal. I ran an XLR cable from the pedal to the PA and it sounded awful... for want of a better term, "farty". Completely unusable. Am I doing something wrong? I noticed the DGVU v2 has a cab simulation button... am I supposed to run mine in to a cab sim pedal before the PA? Seriously thinking of ditching this pedal and getting a Sansamp or the Dug Pinnick pre amp but I don't know if I will have the same issues. Thanks

Niall bough a Darkglass pedal from me and was a pleasure to deal with. He paid promptly and let me know the pedal had arrived safely. Couldn't ask for more!
