Ditto Box - Direct Input, Tube/Transformer Output - DISCONTINUED


This is the ultimate DI box and instrument preamp for both stage and studio. Allows for isolated balanced low impedance output for all instruments. Provides either unity gain or use the variable output level control for up to 30dB of all tube gain! perfect tube tone and isolaton for vintage keybords, electric bass and acoustic/electric guitars with internal transducer type pickups. Uses Neutrik connectors, a custom Nickel core output transformer, one 12AU7 plus one 12AX7 Groove Tubes.

The DITTO is the "Swiss Army Knife" for recording AND live performance. A few of the uses are as follows:

  1. Direct to console - Use the DITTO for an acoustic/electrified guitar - input directly to a recording console for warmth and proper matching.
  2. Live to sound reinforcement console - In a live performance, long unbalanced cable runs can compromise your tone. When using with keyboards or rack systems, you can now set your equipment levels to the settings for best signal to noise ratio. Let the DITTO bring up or down the overall signal for those long cable runs with an improvement in sound.
  3. A must for guitar players with pedal boards - You have a large investment in a pedal board. These are versitile devices, out on stage with the player. Unfortunately, the long cable run (over 25' in many cases) back to your amp, does little for sound quality. Let the DITTO handle the task of proper balancing and drive of the signal with ease. Once again, set the effects for the proper level for the best sound, rather than using the last effect in the chain to handle this task with its own internal little op-amp that is not the best designed component for this task.
  4. POD 2.0 and POD xt users - whether direct recording or in live performances, placing the DITTO between the POD and the amp, recorder, console, or house system will give a warmth to your signal and tube feel, sound, and playing dynamics. One more time, proper level can now be set on the POD output control so signal to noise ratio is optimized. In the high gain POD models, this can really help the background noise to the amp, console, or recorder for a cleaner and quiter signal.
  5. Make your guitar, bass, keyboard, or less expensive dynamic microphone sound better - the transformer balanced tube circuitry are the keys for proper matching to your instrument.
The DITTO uses same of the engineering thinking of its big brother, the Vipre. The Vipre is now used in many major studios, as has many awards, nominations, and testimonials to its own credit.
