Default Fishman Aura!!!

Years ago I bought a Fishman Aura blender when they were first available. Spent all my Christmas money on it. Over the years I've gone back and forth with it. Tonight I found the cable to hook it to my computer. (been lost for a year or so). I got on the Aura website, downloaded the Larrivee L-05 sounds, moved them to the Aura, plugged in my Larrivee L-05 and WOW!!...I still think it is one of the best systems out there. The only drawback with the first version is that it requires a power cable. It really makes my Larrivee sound great plugged in. And, with the edit function I have 1 channel-normal, 2nd channel the same eq with some compression, 3rd channel added highs and 4th channel added low end. So, when I plug in if the house system sounds thin...just switch to the channel with low end...and vice versa....it really is a great system!!!

I LOVE my Aura Spectrum DI.

I googles Fishman Aura and am still not sure what the deal is. All I see is the Dreadnuaght.

I play a SCGC OM / PW. I use K&K and go to a Red-eye Pream, then into an SA. So, will this thing work for me? Would it eliminate the need for the pre-amp?
