Nowt too exciting, thought I'd just share some sounds my newwwwwww Behringer GDI21 pumpz out.
The amp sims on my Zoom R16 were just sounding kinda wooly and mushy on home demos when using outboard distortion and this thing is flexible out the WAZOO.
Plus it's a DI box with XLR out and a ground lift; all fer 30 quid. Nice one, Tech 21 Behringer.
Finally got round to ordering one of these (£26)... as I need a quiet way to do teh jamz with a baby sleeping close by. Had a look at a comparison vid with the gt2 on YouTube not much difference and definitely not £170 worth of difference.
I'd like to update my opinions on the acoustic di. It's a pretty close clone of the sansamp paradriver (just without drive I think) and it's a really useful pedal. I've done quite a lot of live work with it since I bought it and it's been really very useful. It works well on acoustic and amazingly on bass thanks to the sweepable mid frequency knob. The xlr out is also fairly noise free and does a pretty good job.
I'll see if I can get a video from a live performance where I've used the di as it makes a huge difference to the sound of an acoustic guitar - just sounds like my acoustic mic'd up.
I'm gonna order one of each I think. My band has been playing a lot of small open mics where only fools try to bring their own amps and they would really help us out with both setup time and sound.
Got mine yesterday and it’s going back tomorrow. I might have got a duff one but the shear amount of static FIZZ this thing gives off renders it useless.
I quite like the Mesa-Boogie setting on the copy of the GT2 Sansamp that I have (pictured below). I bought on a whim for about £45. On the back it says ''Made in Western Siberia". How cool is that? It adds to tone, y'know.
