M80 Bass DI Plus : Color stays always on
4 years ago
The value of this box for me is simply the color button. The boost in lows and highs that it provides makes all of my basses sound full and interact better with overdrives, thats why I dont use it as DI but as a preamp at the beginning of my chain.
Some people dont like the distortion, but if you lower the gain and set the blend below 9 o'clock it will give you a nice grit, and if you use the box early in the chain like me, then you can experiment with a bit of dirt before some other effects, like a comp for example.
The only downside, the size, its a bit tricky to accommodate in some boards
