michaeljavierhotmail.com Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Anyone use this piece from Presonus? I'm currently using the Mackie XDR pres and was wondering if I should use the Blue Tube to add some character to my keyboard and guitar box (Pod) recordings. Thanks for the replies.

staupephotmail.com Posted February 5, 2001 Share Posted February 5, 2001 I have the mackie 1202vlz and 32/8, Presonus MP20, Art Tube MP and last but not least the BlueTube. The Blue tube sounds great on bass as a direct box. It also sounds pretty good on an acoustic guitar(tighter bass then the Art) but does have a bit of a noise floor problem(as does the ART). It has a very good distortion character. You can dial it in smoothly. I haven't tried it on electric but it would excel there I am sure. I would not mail order one of these because in the first unit I got, one channel was way hotter than the other one. Took it back and the new one is good. It is a very useful character box and is a nice addition to the detailed sound of the Mackies and the MP20. Well worth 150 clams. Note: Can be used as an active splitter as well since the XLR and the 1/4" can be used at the same time. With the phase reversal this is a bit of a swiss army thing.
