Review: Power house of a DI box. Super pleased. - This DI rocks! Excellent design and functionality. No battery but power source included. Very easy to shape of great tone out of this pedal. And you can fully dial in the distortion as well as choose between pre or post EQ or even dry EQ while distortion is on. Compressor can be left on even when the pedal is being bypassed. Built-in noise gate. Loads of features and super self-explanatory. Bought this for my son's pedal board and I'm super impressed. If I hadn't had recently purchased a Sans Tech 21 Geddy then I'd be purchasing a second one of these units for myself. Kind of crazy what a value some of these electro-harmonix pedals are these days.
Review: Versatile, great sounding preamp - Live I run my bass into this, then into a Tech 21 Power Engine or the PA. The EQ is versatile and sounds great, the compressor and noise gates are useful and well done, and the distortion (several voicing options) sounds really good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile, great sounding preamp

Live I run my bass into this, then into a Tech 21 Power Engine or the PA. The EQ is versatile and sounds great, the compressor and noise gates are useful and well done, and the distortion (several voicing options) sounds really good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent for the price
*by W***E on July 8, 2017*

I've had this unit for a few weeks now and I'd say that for the price, it's a damn good pedal. The pros are that it first and foremost breathes new life and sparkle into my rather bland amp (Hartke 3500). The eq toggle offers enough variance to taylor your tone however you hear it in your head. The drive is gritty enough to emulate an overdriven amp, but not so fuzzy you loose control of your sound. It's very natural sounding. Cons are the one knob compression. It's lacks focus and punch and frankly sounds better without it engaged. I also wish there was a cross-over ala the delux bass muff (which incidentally makes that pedal). And finally the noise gate is way too sensitive. You either have to deal with hum or have it slam shut on your whole notes and reverb. Ultimately the pros outweigh the cons though. This is a great set-it-and-forget-it pedal.
