could this unit smooth out an oversaturated rig that im currently using at the moment? when i turn up my mesa boogie dual recti past 5 when im gigging, it starts to get too crunchy and trebly sounding, and i was wondering if this would smooth it over and give me a nicer lead and rythm tone.
Change the tube for better tone? The ART DPS II is a starved-plate design. It's basically a cheap solid-state preamp with a "tube" ran for distortion effect in the output (and this "tube" isn't even running at high-voltage. It runs at around 45volts, which doesn't even push the tube at all). Changing the tube isn't going to affect the tone in the slightest.
cool did you think that this unit could done good result on heavy guitar disto/lead etc and does you know the art tps or tps2, and maybe compare with your dsp. for stock factoy preset it sound sweat
@julienvervaecke It is hard to say, depends on personal taste.To me it sounds pretty good with heavy guitar. Ads a little high edge with guitar preset. Otherwise you can play with other presets. Another thing. It may sound different with different tube. I use external overdrive. Haven't try to use ART as distortion. I hope it helps.
@CreativeMusicians - thanks for clarifying that for me. How about the secondary synth tone, playing at the same time....the one that sounds like a pulsing, arpeggio effect? Thanks again
@CreativeMusicians - Oh no, I am referring to the 2 synth sounds from the beginning of the video to around 0:21. sounds like 2 synth pads, one of which is pulsating. thanks
Hello, is it(he,she) better the converters of the art dps 2 that the converters of the digi 001?, bony(osseous) ... it(he,she) would obtain mas quality using the converters of the art opposite to those of the digi?
It is hard to say. We don't have Digi 001. We do have Digi 002 but had not compared the sound of converters without tube circuit. But comparing to M-audio 1010LT it sound cleaner, more transparent., but not much different from rack version of M-audio 1010.
We bought this unit mainly for it's digital output, but you may also connect the analog output from this unit into analog input (line input) on you soundcard.
If you are not interested transfering digital signals, there is an identical art tps II model without digital interface. We dont own one, but the specifications looks simmilar, and the price is lower as well.
you can really hear the difference in the guitar track with the preamp. What is the preamp plugged into though? How are you getting the sound into the computer.
Спасибо большое!

@BoozeMonsoon13 I don't think it wood. It is actually adds high frequency on the guitar setting. Probably your amp needs some tune up.

Just saying. :)

Thank you so much for this review man.
