M80 Bass DI Plus : Excellent DI BOX

Great DI box, I use this exclusively for all my gigs. I use it with a Boss Tuner and send one signal from the DI to my amp, which I use as a monitor, and other other to the desk.

Activating the 'color' button really brings my bass to life, adjusting the Bass/Mid/Treble to suit means you can get a variety of tones out of the box. In large rooms I typically boost the Mid to about 2 o'clock, cut the Treble to 10/11 o'clock and leave the bass at 12 o'clock. I can then adjust my bass amp to compensate if I'm not happy with the on stage sound.

Phantom power can also be sent to the MXR from the desk which is very useful.

I don't use the distortion much but you can use it as a second channel without distortion by turning the distortion 'blend' completely down, could be useful for some volume amplification if you are slapping or tapping.
