Hey guys, as promised awhile ago, here's my gondo DI shootout - I own a Little Labs Redeye, and wanted to see how it would stack up against some heavy hitter DI's. So I found a Countryman Type 85 and a Radial J48 for good prices on ebay, and bought them for the sake of this test! You're welcome
Ta-da...
So I recorded the same riff as tightly as I could through each DI box, AND I used both my Ibanez Prestige with an EMG85 in the bridge and my housemate's Dean Evo with a Dimebucker (I know, I know, but at least it's passive!), so you guys could get the full picture! Then I reamped it throuhg my usual setup (Redeye --> TS7 --> 2 ch. Dual Rec Red channel --> Stiletto slant 4x12 --> SM57 mic'ing the bottom left speaker --> Mackie Onyx Satellite). So without further ado, here's
the files!
It's a blind shootout, though I will say that the letters are the same for both guitars (e.g. a = a, etc.) Enjoy, and happy guessing! And the riff is my own from my last band.
EDIT: And here's a
