Description  This great sounding DA is like new with original box and papers. Used in a smoke free studio, times are hard so I'm selling off some gear. This unit is now discontinued. These are going for $499.00 elsewhere. AGUILAR DB 900. Ultra-pristine performance and wide, balanced frequency response are the trademarks of the DB 900. A stand out direct box for any instrument, the DB 900 was nominated for a prestigious TEC Award and has been heralded in the press as the finest tube DI available. A single 12AX7 tube is utilized in a linear fashion to keep the noise floor extremely low while creating tremendous headroom and an environment where the signal opens to its fullest potential without coloration. Designed for both studio and stage use, the DB 900 is becoming a favorite for top producers, engineers, and players around the globe. SPECS: All Tube Circuit Design. High Headroom, Low Distortion.

How does it suit your music style (and what is that style)? Is it noisy? On what settings, and in what environments? What kind of sounds can the amp make? How much variety? Is the clean channel distorted at high volumes? In what settings? How brutal is the distortion? Pristine, quiet, with a very wide and flat frequency response. The tube must affect the sound, but I can't identify what the characteristic of that particular contribution would be. It isn't muddy or anything, and doesn't sound rolled off at the top anywhere within my hearing range (which maxed out at around 16KHz last time I checked). It's clear, yet smooth, and captures all of the nuances and depth of a bass. I usually send the DB900's output into a DW Fearn VT-2 mic pre, then to a compressor like a UA 1176 or Pendulum ES-8 into ProTools. For location recording, I'll take the DI's output to a True Precision 8 solid-state preamp into a Ramsa DA-7 digital mixer. Either way, the Aguilar sounds great.   Place a Bid!
