Tube Preamp/DI Sound Samples — Noble, Oracle, P-15, Super Stack, REDDI, Tonecraft, Jule...

Looks like I can fit the Shure, Stomp and Khan on a Pedaltrain Metro 16. The DC7 will fit underneath. A Templeboard Solo 18 works as well but is $100 more.

Check out the Warwick Rockboard Tres 3.0 too. I have a 2.1 and a 3.1. They are really nice boards and are well priced. You'll probably need to remove the bracing bracket to fit the DC7 under it. It doesn't affect the stability in the least and removes a small amount of weight. I could probably have squeezed the DC7 under my 3.1 but it would have been very tight. I'd rather make it easier to change things around when I need to.

The 3.0 is about 1.5" larger in each dimension than the Metro 16. Very close in size to the Templeboard Solo 18.

I can confirm DC7 fits underneath the Rockboard 3.0

Hello there!
I’m still looking for a tube DI and I would like to know what is your opinion about the Groove tube the brick ? Does it worth the money or is it far away from the big names (REDDI,…) ?

Used the Khan tonight. Really nice.

Nice! But be careful, next stop is the Noble

I’ll take the Khan every time and twice on Sunday. I’ve had both.

 

[SteveC]

I think the Khan will be plenty. I debated a Noble but it’s just so expensive. And the Khan looks cool when it lights up.

Same… And I actually used them twice on Sundays.

The Khan seemed to give me everything I remember from my REDDI (the REDDI MAYBE had a little more “feel” to it) for half the price and size. I’ll take it.

I’ve been very tempted to get another one

I’ll also take the Khan every day of the week. Noble is great, but the Khan just does something special and really gives the bass weight. To me, it’s similar to the REDDI with a touch softer high end.

The noble also looks cool when it lights up… that’s more than half of these preamp/DI’s cool factor

Well, I have a khan, so I’m not surprised to hear how much people like it. I love mine. But I am a little surprised to hear that you like it better than the noble? I assumed they would be very similar sounding? But the noble has bass and treble knobs, as well as being a pedal power supply? Is it just the cost? If they both cost the same, would you still choose the khan? I’ve never heard a noble in person, so I have no idea how they compare. Just curious.

That’s a good comparison.

I would choose the Khan regardless of price.
All my thoughts here.

+1 to the Khan and REDDI.

This is awesome! Gotta say, the Nobelium is pretty darn close to the real thing!

I haven't used a Noble or the Neptunium but have used a Nobelium for months and lately started tracking with it as well. It makes everything I play sound so much better. Everybody in the control room is happy so far too.

 

[Azari]

My double SansAmp pedalboard got me thinking… have any of you vacuum tube preamp/DI guys ever done something similar? Like put two tube preamps on your board and use two channels on your mixing desk? Might be pretty cool… or just overkill. I’d freak out if I saw someone with two Nobles or two Khans on their board lol… that would just look insane. I figure if someone has tried it it would be on Talkbass though.

Nice! But be careful, next stop is the Noble
