Some new IK Multimedia hardware

[Blooby]

Basically, it's a guitar/bass direct/re-amp box with some tone-shaping features. I am using it in front of my Tonex and have been digging the results.

A music buddy was raving about this unit so I bit the bullet. It has settings for active or passive pickups, a switch between a clean or colored sound, but the coolest thing is an adjustable impedance control. Basically, you can go from a cleaner, thinner sound or fatten it up. It is subtle, but it does move things forward tone-wise. Definitely worth the $100 (at least for me).

Sounds cool. Gotta link?

Blah, that looks like the thing some adult would buy. Or someone who was after some good sounds

Be careful with that setup. If Tonex wasn't enough and you needed something for the frontend... Next they might be selling something for the backend too!

I suppose I'll have to travel to The Dark Web to purchase that.

Blooby- Thanks for the tip on the Z-Tone DI box!  Yep, made me go get one and I really like it. Favorite use so far is for recording DI bass:
P bass -> Z-Tone -> Roland Cube 30 -> Line out straight into the recorder. Cleanest and easiest bass sound yet for me.
