Thanks to balanced D.I. Outs, bass preamps are a great thing, especially if you're working a lot in the studio and want to avoid unnecessary hassle. The high-quality sound of these preamps offers all the advantages of classic amp designs, providing the perfect foundation for stress-free work. Simply plug into the D.I. out straight into the console, and you're good to go!
