The Twin now has an "and" button. You would need each pickup to have it's own 1/4" out.

Baggs Para DI, Headway, Aura. What's just one more? I'd love a pendulum but too bulky if you ask me. I want to keep my setup simple. |

Any one using just the Dee-eye?
I think I am able to get enough tone shaping from the board, and not sure if I really need the boost function. |

I like the boost, so I tend to grab the Red-Eye first.

Thanks so much for the reply! One more question: Is is a clean linear boost, or does it add a little something special? |

My experience w/ Red Eye
I have one and have used it for three consecutive gigs now. I have a K&K in a Martin D18 and prior to the Red Eye used a K&K Pure XLR pre. We use twin Bose towers for our PA most of the time.
The Red Eye in normal mode is slightly more transparent than the K&K; really natural acoustic sound. The problem is when using it with the volume boost. When I kick volume boost in, even with just a very slight boost, the great tone gets stripped away...the overtones, natural "woodiness" of the guitar is gone and it sounds more like a cheap low volume electric guitar. So I give kudos to Red Eye for getting part of it right. But I won't use the volume boost mode any more. |

Hint: it ain't the Red Eye that is stripping the tone.

Don, are you saying the Bose could be causing that, and why do you think that's the issue?

I've got a Red-Eye coming this week, looking fwd. to trying it out and will post a full review.
For those who have used preamps with eq in the past (PADI, Venue, Radial, Ultrasound, etc.).....are you missing the ability to eq other than the board itself? How much eq are you actually using/needing with the Red-Eye? |

I started out as a bench repairman and have had my hands on many generations of Bose electronics over the decades and a common aspect of them has been cheap high-gain circuitry prone to non-linearity in overload situations. What this means: give that stuff a dose of high-dynamic real-time signal that hasn't been already compressed by cheap electronics and you get crappy tone. (hit it hard and it craps out) And that is why I am far from surprised . . . .

Interesting thread!
I have a k&k in my Collings D2H and have been happily using an Ultrasound DI Plus for about three years. Has anyone compared the Red Eye to an Ultrasound DI? Thanks, Ed |
