paujones64's Bass Rig

The Radial JDV is my favorite direct box for bass guitars. What I love is that it has 2 inputs that work great for different kinds of inputs. One is great for magnetic pickups and has a variable gain knob and a high-pass filter to roll off unneeded high frequencies. The other input can be switched from mic to line, can have the resistance changed, and also has a HPF. This is great for using it with a mic on an upright bass or acoustic bass, and the other with a magnetic pickup bass. I used an Alembic one one input and a passive/lower output bass on the other, and I can match the gain levels going out to FoH (and back into my in-ears.). The JDV also features a tuner out, for continuous tuning on either channel, and a thru jack for sending out to a stage amp. It also works with a Radial JR-2 foot switch so I can mute and change channels with 2 different pedals. It uses a TRS cable to support both functions with 1 cable.
