  • The "Purists" DI

    As reviewed by SeaKiteAir on 8/29/2006

    If I had to sum up the Avalon U5 DI in one word, it would be "versatile." Finding a transparent, high quality DI is a chore by itself, but finding one with the feature set of the U5 is any engineer's dream. The boost gain is clean and musical. The six EQ presets are just what some instruments need. The transient response is unmatched. The build is VERY solid. What a great piece of gear. The Avalon U5 is highly recommended.

  • Be careful what you use it for...

    As reviewed by Benny Mac on 4/2/2007

    I just purchased the U5 about a month ago right before we left to tour for 15 straight dates. I had been referred to the U5 by a lot of friends. I intended to use the U5 for my acoustic guitar but found it very hard to find a good tone using the U5. halfway in to the tour I started to let our bassist use it and it sounded great. Needless to say - my warning is to not buy the U5 for acoustic guitar. I think for every other application it would work great. There are so many more variables when using the U5 through an acoustic and the fact there are just a few presets to choose from really works to your disadvantage on acoustic. I was pretty disappointed with the U5 but if you play bass or keys this box would work very well I am sure.
