krispn Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago (edited) Decided that I’m gonna mix things up with the rig this year. I normally change things up every few years. I have a Jule Simone I tentatively listed last year as I was tempted by an Anagram but realised I have very basic gigging needs. With some great preamps now available I’m up for a change! Simone Spec: Jule is a bit vague in describing his gear so I don’t have eq points etc. I do believe the eq is baxandall inspired (think broad, wide and gentle Q giving a lovely ‘global’ feel to the eq and no frequency poking out of the mix - musical would be the best description). These are boost/cut with about 10db per band either direction. The EQ is tube driven Line out is a master output and this thing has tons of output and can drive a power amp (+19dB) Sense control. 4dB gain shift in the lows and some describe it like an input sensitivity making the unit come a bit more alive in the feel. Playing with a pick and turning up the Sens add to the overall attack Boost foot switch is similar to the ‘pull control’ on the original Monique preamp and I think it boosts the sensitivity and is a fixed amount of boost. Drive adds 2dB-20db gain not dirt (also tube driven). In conjunction with the Sens control adds ‘more’ but it Is not an overdrive flubby tube sound. It adds clarity weight. All vague but listen to the demo below it is a very fair representation of the tone. Dedicated DI volume control - tube driven custom Cinemag transformer The Velcro is from when I would attach my DG Element for on the run, minimal kit IEM gigs and they paired wonderfully together. The best demo and one of the few demo’s can be seen below: he audio demos the features better than I can describe them! Recoded delivery available UK only! Pictures to follow when I get back home.
