Hi,
I've an old VTDB-2B Tube Direct Box and I want to replace the tubes.
I sent an email to Demeter, but no reply...
Is there someone who can say me what tubes I must buy to replace it?
Thanks

I am getting ready to Record guitar tracks and need help getting setup.

Recording bass guitar at a concert the other day, the bass player’s amplifier gave off a suspicious whine when the bass was plugged into my Whirlwind IMP-2 passive direct box. The ground lift switch on the DI did not get rid of the noise. I suspect that my DI is not blocking the phantom power that my PreSonus Firepod is sending down the line.

Okay, I have one of those new BehringerDI and I LOVE the sound, esspecially on bass, it is active, Now I also have a few yorkville DI;s that arent bad and are very clean sounding, In the past I have heard the Avalon DI that my buddy had I liked the sound and not that I put it to a test against a sh*tty one but, really ?

Any recomendations?

I allready own a Little Labs red-eye box, but I lack a good neutral preamp.
Also, I don't think the red-eye is that neutral as a DI anyway.

I would like to hear of budget options too.

ok,

I've been recording my own music for quite some time, but I never really mastered recording the Bass Guitar. I don't use an amp, but I don't use a DI Box. I plug it into a preamp, then to my soundcard. Is a DI Box necessary? If so how do I use it...Can I still use a preamp for tone?

Hello All,

I am preparing to add some electric guitar tracks to my current project song and I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the forum. I sold my Apeg amp about a year ago but I still have my stomp boxes.

Curious to know most widely used bass recording technique used in pro and semi-pro projects: DI vs Mic vs Both?

99.9% of sessions and original projects I work on use DI. In fact I can't recall ever using mic on my rig (or brining my rig) during a session.

It would be for many different styles of music. My budget is around $2300 and so far I've been looking at the UA 6176. Thanks for any suggestions

Hi,

Coming from an acoustic music background (classical, jazz, world music), I am not used to all these guitar amps and cabinets. So please be nice and try not to laugh too loud at the following question:
