73 DI 2

About

73 DI 2 is an outboard or monitor controller by Heritage Audio. It is built on the 73 circuit topology, with a 3055-driven transformer coupled Class A output stage. Its high input headroom allows it to be used with keyboards, synths, drum machines and samplers, as well as guitars and basses. It comes in single and dual channel configurations, with an 8-channel version pending.

What it sounds like

Passive basses such as P-Bass and Jazz Bass gain a sparkling high end, a solid bottom end and low midrange saturation. Instruments such as the Fender Rhodes produce their full body and bell-like tone, and Wurlitzer EPs gain saturation.
