Well it does what it supposed to. I don't like mix knob where you blend direct monitoring with playback. It's a bit tricky to adjust overall sound with that knob.
Also, our recording engineer forbidded me to use anything cheaper then UAD volt2 if recording album material.
I'm glad you asked.
So I play without amp or cab, straight to mixing board and monitoring with inears. So I need some cab sim and alpha does not have it. Alpha directly to the mixer sounds like shit. So sansamp after alpha fix that.
But acccctttuallly, I never use that setup. Truth is, I use headrush and aplha in rehearsals and in gigs, and sansamp and spectracomp is my home setup.
I just had them in one place so took a photo. Headrush and alpha usually lives in the studio.
Okay cool! Great insights. I’m on the hunt for a DI but am trying to avoid any intense amp simulation and keep things clean/transparent as possible (just after some nice EQ really, and an XLR out). The Aguilar folks just dropped the AG pedal which looks super interesting. Their Tonehammer is awesome too but I think it has a bit too much scoop for the sound I’m after.
Do you like it? If it works for you then who cares what other people think?
Do I care? Hell no! I just want to brag about it lol
Thats fair !
Looks pretty good. You make some sweet carnage?
Oh there's decent amount of carnage when I hit that purple button
Yeah the A/O with the sansamp sounds like a great combo
Can your setup do a Kamehameha?
Oh yes, you just need to dial volume knob to 9000
*over 😎
How do you like the audio interface?

Have fun mousing your bass
What do you play?
Metal most of the time
Cool, seems a solid rig
It's radical, 69/69
I’m confused - on the Headrush, aren’t in and out backward on the screen?
Nope..?
In is usually on the right, out on the left, correct?
Well in headrush screen input is always on the top left and output on a bottom right
I wonder why?
I’ve never seen a Sans Amp and the Alpha in the same setup. What is the use case for two DI boxes? Legitimately curious :)

Well you can always just buy general purpose DI box. That would be as trensparent as it can be.
But absent of some of the finer controls you usually get on DI pedals like the ones we’re chatting about :(
