PreSonus TubePre Tube DI

[Michiel1972]

Some advice for TubePre owners, or people who plan to get a TubePre. Do a research on 12AX7 Tubes. There are alot of tube comparison websites and forums around. If you think your Presonus TubePre doesn't sound good then replace the tube and experiment with different brands of Tubes. The brand of tube that comes with the Presonus is in general not that good. I prefer the brands JJ Electronics and Tung-sol.

I can dig it

[VitalPatricia]

Good machine, especially for rock bassists who play with fingers and want to sound like pick. It would work better If came with a compressor as a channel strip.

[willxxxlife]

would this be good 4 rap vocals

[julioaberrios]

Hi, is there any chance to hear something of what you say? there are many videos of this product but I haven't found a single sample of how it really sounds!!! I am looking for a review that go deeper than what I can read in the Presonus web site. Thanks!!

[NelsonRicardoST]

the hay AudioboxUSB works with any computer? I would appreciate such a response

[xdmasson]

You forgot to mention this is just a cheap, low quality OP-AMP based circuit with a tube in the signal path to color the sound. You might as well buy behringer, at least behringer doesn't waste as much money.

[abuGraba]

you should turn it on and play something through it and not to tell us what we can see.. loose of the 'virtual space' for this 'movie'.. talk, talk, talk.. bad review.. :(

[ShelterRecords213]

[aaronstarr1]

[jmd11185]

Used this for years with a Rode NT1000. It did a good job for me for quite a long time. However the meter light started burning out on me after a couple months and at this point is completely dark.

[StupetFait]

hey i buy the " presonus Audiobox USB " interface but , when i record my vocal ..it give a more cheap sound if i compare it to my old setup .. MXL 990 and Yamaha Aufiogram6 .. if i buy the Preamp that you show on this video my quality sound will be better A LOT !! or ...??? someone can tell something about this fukin problem

[linkinwayne]

@StupetFait Yes, you need to learn how to type.

[Doobro]

I just got one of these to go into my foot rack. I will be using this in my effects to go DI to the P.A. Does anyone have any experience doing this set up ? I will be using a Les Paul and mostly Boss effects direct to the P.A.

[kennykanowski]

@Doobro Why would you want to go direct

[GallopingPints]

Thinking of buying one for use with a mic. Looks to be a kickass piece of equipment

[RadikalasMC]

iam using with rode nt2a it's fine preamp ;)

[GallopingPints]

Nice mic choice - wouldn't mind gettin' one of those for myself, tho a Shure SM57 would be more of what I need :) Greets from Lithuania :)

[RadikalasMC]

o prikolas ash irgi ish Lietuvos :DDD

[GallopingPints]

Tavo nick'ą pastebėjęs iškarto tai supratau :P O kiek palikai už Rode mic'ą ir kur?

[deltapunk]

help!! I changed the tube in my tube pre, and I think I disconected the gain and drive knobs, being that I don't know what it should look like I'm lost, when I tried to use it all I got was noise and squeels, I wish some one would post a vid on changing tubes and showing the details of the inside of a tube pre

[kennykanowski]

@deltapunk If you cant change a tube you should be shot

[wildhorsestudios1421]

Works great on vocals for me..... I read one of the best non NOS tube to use in it was a Ruby Tube. So I open mine up to change it out and what's in it stock? A Ruby Tube

[fitzwilliamcobra]

ruby don't make nos tubes.

[wildhorsestudios1421]

And who said they did?

[fitzwilliamcobra]

apologies.

[wildhorsestudios1421]

:)  who ever heard of non nos tubes anyway? lol

[mrxdaavid]

Whats its like to put a Tone Port UX1 Line 6 + PreSonus TubePre Tube DI and a Blue Dragonfly Condenser Microphone

[amourdutigre]

I bought one of these for fifty clams that was a demo. The Chinese tube sounded awful (Voice tracking with a large diaphragm condenser mic. Once I replaced the 12AX7 with a NOS Mullard (thirty bucks), it sounded much better. This will not outdo a 2000 dollar preamp, but for those of us on a limited budget, with a decent tube, this is a real good investment, especially for those who use digital recording.

[TheSpiderMind]

yea, the 12AX7 was the same tube mxl used to put in their V69 tube condenser microphones and had the same problems. Once MXL upgraded the tube, the mics started getting rave reviews.

[GigaScythe]

Thank you, very helpful.

[wingerwanger]

Speaking of tube pre-amps, is it bad if you leave them on for like 2 hours ?

[slarge169]

how is it for vocals and where do u put headphones at?

[gus361]

through the computer or moniter?

[TheForeteller]

You didn't have to return it ... you could've installed a more high quality tube

[HammondB200]

No that doesn't make any diffr'nce there is just to less volts going to the tubesockets. (Starved Plate Design) However it's the best starved plate design you can have for around 100 bucks.

[HammondB200]

You should better use it as guitardistortionstompbox

[SeanHart213]

i hate the tubepre. i returned mine. its only good for bass, it ruins the signals of other instruments. especially vocals

[canvoodoo]

kool to see you guys on you tube

[carlheinz]

How does it sound compared to the avalon D.I.?
