My end of chain needs: Does this pedal exist?

[Evan J]

Looking for a pedal with these features…

Must include
- High Quality DI (Radial quality or better)
- Headphone Out
- Small-ish Footprint

Must NOT include
- Large footprint
- Always on EQ
- Complex EQ
- Always on tube gain
- Darkglass Element (unreliable)
- Origin Effects Pedal Amps (more features than I need)

Optional Features
- Cab sim (with ability to bypass)
- A foot switch
- Under $350 if possible… but willing to budge if it’s the perfect thing.

Does this exist??

It will go at the end of this signal chain…

But if you guys just want to recommend me all your favorite end of chain pedals that’s cool too…

Wow. One and done. I think this might be the winner

I keep a Rolls PM50se around to use as a headphone amp with aux in for any DI (currently, a Broughton Studio One).

My two Favorites are the Ampeg SGT-DI, it’s excellent and has all the bells and whistles, but it’s big. Also the Sadowsky SBP-1 is excellent for giving a little bass boost and adding in some sweet highs. Has DI and a mute which is latching. Usually run the Sadowsky before the Ampeg and can run 2 pre/post DIs off my board without the need for an amp.
Ampeg ticks all your boxes minus size.

That Sadowsky might be a little more my speed. I have an irrational fear of pedals with downloadable software

It sounds awesome, and very easy to dial in. Even sounds good flat.

No headphone out, though…epic fail

The Source Audio ZIO has an EQ…that was in the “must NOT include” list.

This is SO close… I just… don’t love the look of the pedal.

Is that a really stupid reason not to buy it?

You’re looking for a DI with a headphone amp or a headphone amp with a DI output. I’ve never seen such a beast myself.

DSM omni cab sim deluxe- meets the headphone+di criteria at least

Here's a reason to consider buying it...the EQ can be set flat, or NO EQ, but it's there if you want/need it. Mine will be sitting on my speaker cabinet next to my amp so I don't have to look at it and finally, the HPF is definitely something you want to have over a cab sim!

I love my Broughton Messenger. Not sure if you would consider it a big footprint. The HP/LP filters are a nice touch.
