StingRayBoy42 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Can anyone recommend a modern sounding, clean preamp/DI pedal? Playing Dua Lipa, Britney, Arianna Grande, Beyonce, Destinys Child type stuff on a StingRay 5 straight to PA with IEMs. Aguilar Tomehammer? Tech 21 Q strip? Can I get the sound I want from my VTDI? All and any input welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Might be worth checking EBS out, their gear is meant to be modern sounding. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekomatic Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Is it just me or does the Press Pass pretty much do nothing whatever you do with the knobs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killerfridge Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I don't think I would recommend the Tonehammer DI for modern sounding DI; it's got quite a vintagey sound. Maybe look at the Aguilar AG preamp? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Basswitch is a really clean pre and two bands of semi para mids two fx loops, a boost, two inputs for two bass or you can A/B the preamp on/off transformer in the DI and just a wonderful clean sound. The lows are set low but it’s never muddy or undefined. I’ve had one for about 10yrs and wouldn’t sell it even though it’s not on my board just now it’s a keeper for me! I think there was one for sale on the forum quite recently. Edited February 2 by krispn 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollin Thunder Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Two notes, revolt or le bass, mid prices high quality and versatile multi channels, get what sound you want, great clean channel, bit of grit if you want all the way to higher gain if required. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Have a look a the TC Electronic Spetradrive that would give a number of options for getting the sound you are looking for. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Thanks for all the replies folks. The Eden WTDI looks lush but 15V DC means an extra wall wart, which I could do without. The Basswitch and EBS MicroBass both look like killer bits of kit, but massive overkill for what I need. I still kinda want them both. I've gone for an MXR M81 from this here forum - it seems to have everything I need, nothing I don't and the reviews reckon it does clean pretty well. If not, it'll be back on marketplace and I'll be back asking for more recommendations. Cheers all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
