Sweetwater Advice

Austin Moss
My favorite recommendation for fattening up keyboards, samplers, and synths, to say nothing of acoustic instruments like basses and guitars. Use the impedance control as a tone shaper. It's a direct box all right, direct to the sound you were looking for!

TD-100 FOR INSTRUMENTS

Been trying for years to get a nice warm sound on the violin through an amp (as well as electric mandolin. I have a wonderful 1820's German violin with an incredible dynamic range. I use a Schertler Dyn M on it with a Acoustic Image amp and the sound is transparent. The only problem I had was finding a DI that would take the extended dynamic and frequency range of the pickup and not sound strident and be easily over driven. This DI seems to be the bees knees. Look forward to the first gig tomorrow, but the sounds I was getting tonight as I tried it out was just what I was looking for. Besides the Summit Audio owner was extremely helpful in discussing the fine points of frequency response, asymmetrical waves (the violin is full of them (saw tooth etc)) and other very thoughtful suggestions.

From 1996 through 2001 I was the live recording engineer for the Rock Hall and recorded about 60 shows for the archive, as well as playing out for 30 years, so I am particular on the quality of my live sound. I like this piece because it is affordable and made like a tank. We start our new recording this fall and this will be used to track the bass guitar into our DAW.

Keep up the good work Summit.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
