Decent DI, Comp and Distortion

Does the few things that I need for a gig, and means I can D.I. straight to the desk and use the on stage monitors without needing to lug around a huge amp to gigs.

It I was going to elaborate on my set-up, I'd probably get individual pedals to do the D.I. and Distortion, the EHX Big Muff sounds better IMO.

I would give it 4 stars, but I think the bypass switch and light is confusing!

Versatile for gigging, if that's what you need!

Classic Distortion

Use it on bass, guitar, synth, makes everything sound gnarly!

Good guitar for the price.

Wanted something to record with occasionally, more of a bass player myself.

Sounds pretty good, does the job! Kinda wished I'd bought a tele or jazz master, as those probably reflect the sound I'm trying to achieve better, but none the less it's guitar to play once you're past the beginner phase I'd say.

Lovely neck and great bass!

I bought this bass mainly for the neck shape and it's fender jazz sound. Really happy with it, used it for over 10 years touring and recording, and it's never had a problem!

Absolutely fantastic audio interface!

I bought this to replace my UA Apollo Twin Duo, which despite being a great audio interface, I wasn't very impressed with the headphone amp.

The SSL 2 has amazing monitor outputs and headphone amp! It really drives my Sennheiser HD 600 headphones exactly as they should be.

I also find it's simplicity a great advantage when recording with a guitar/bass on my lap. Need to adjust the monitor mix? Sure the dial is right there on the device! With the UA Apollo you'd end up fiddling around with the mouse and control software, not exactly ideal when you need to record.

The inputs sound great, so far I've tried them on my Bass and Arturia MicroBrute.

Hoping to get hold of an SSL 2+ one day soon, it's hardly surprising they're sold out everywhere!
