Get "To Die For" Onstage Tone!
Plugging your bass or acoustic straight into the board does one thing really well: it sucks out the life from your tone!! And if you've been wise enough to grab a Direct Box to get a balanced signal for your longer cable runs, you've probably figured out that not all DIs are created equal. That's why true tone-lovers keep turning to Avalon's U5. It's a high-voltage DI/preamp for any instrument you want to throw at it — acoustic guitars, bass guitars, keyboards... name it — and it's built by the minds behind plenty of the best studio preamps in the world. All in all, with the Avalon U5 in your arsenal, you'll come to expect smooth, musical detail from your guitar or bass, plus a ton of tonal control. Long story short: this is the pro-quality DI you've been begging for! This limited-edition version sports a sleek black finish and blue lights.
