I am even more of a moron than that litany of woe would suggest. 

 

Read the thread for more details, but basically I thought this was fecked, but in fact I've been using my pedalboard PSU at the wrong voltage, causing all manner of issues. 

 

So, I don't think this is faulty after all - I'm just a Richard. 

 

That said, it has been repaired because I initially connected the wrong PSU, so how about this:

 

£150 posted. The cheapest ones I've found second hand are £250; Bass Direct has one for £286, and Polar has a B-Stock one for £350+.

 

 

Right, this is a tale of incompetence on my part compounded possibly by someone else's...

 

Shortly after acquiring this Radial Bassbone OD, I managed to plug in the wrong polarity PSU and cause a roomful of smoke. 

 

I sent it away to what I thought was a competent repairer, but it's come back with more problems than it went away with. 

 

The full sorry saga is here

 

 

I've decided to cut my losses and I've got a replacement, so this is now surplus to requirements.

 

It still works, in that it's still a two channel DI with separate EQ, HPFs, FX loops and headphone amp. It also has a high impedance input for piezo inputs for DBs and the like. 

 

Full details are here:

However, it has the following issues: 

 

  • The overdrive is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

 

  • The mute switch, previously working fine, is also intermittent.

 

Everything else worked fine the last time I used it. 

 

The repairer said the OD drive pot was loose when he received it (which was odd, because it wasn't when I sent it!!), so it could be a combination of a dodgy replacement pot work and faulty mute switch. I've blanked out the repairer's name on the photos as I don't think they're on BC, but will happily share details for those that want them. 

 

I've given up on trying to get it fixed but if you don't need the OD or mute it still works fine. 

 

It comes with the USA PSU (WHICH IS CENTRE-POSITIVE, NOT CENTRE-NEGATIVE!!!!) as I used a CIOKS PSU, and has 3M Double-Lock on the bottom. 

 

I don't really know how to price this - the cheapest ones available in the UK at present are around £280, and Polar Audio has a B-stock one at £399, so I think £100 is a fair starting point for a quality DI, even with the intermittent issues.
