Great DI March 5, 2009
Reviewer: Chuck Hutcheson from Mc Rae, GA United States  
I'm rather happy with the Avalon U5.  It offers pro options, with a great sound.  This unit takes all the quality tones and amplifies them, without some of the lesser tones you may not want.  It's a solidly built product, and really does for instruments what a quality mic pre does for mics.  A bassist would not go wrong with this unit, and a pro level bassist would be able to just make some magic happen.  The 6-mode tone selector is a nice touch, offering different EQ settings, and the one I find most effective for bass is setting #2, with a negative mid-sweep.  This unit has ears available, as well, for rack mounting for about $80 (a little steep for ears...)  Otherwise, a great addition to a project or pro studio.

Avalon U5 March 3, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Granger, IN United States  
This is the only DI I would use for Bass. It's right up there with a good mic on the speaker. It's also really great on acustic guitar and keyboards. It's really easy to get the sound you're after with the tone bank selections. The odds are pretty good that one of the options are going to be just right for whatever you throw at it.
And it's built like a tank. Awesome unit!
