Your cheap trolling is still not liked in these forums, so you'll keep getting these responses.

Literally none of my posts have been trolling but ok.

a Neve RNDI between the amp/cab to get the direct signal.

Doesn’t the Neve transformer color the tone? I think it was designed to.

I'm not sure it does really. I've compared various signals through it over the years, never detected any colouration. I do have a couple of Behringturd Ultra-G DI boxes which can do a speaker level THRU as well, so maybe I'll compare. But I'm pretty satisfied with how the Neve sounds.

I have to agree with you. I’ve seen some strong opinions and hot takes, but certainly no trolling. He’s probably confused you with someone else.

Ooooooo.... the plot thickens.....

I did a reamp into my Orange Rockerverb MKIII. First using the Neve DI box. It sounds good. Then I switched to the Behringturd Ultra-G DI box.

With the Ultra-G, the level was a LOT louder... like, tear my head off loud accidentally because my monitors were too loud. Okay... I noticed the pads were not engaged... engaged one of them... a nice healthy level. No hum, no buzz, nothing like that.

my RME interface gain has not changed between these two clips. But you can see the level different I am getting.

And as you can see, it isn't like the Ultra-G is clipping to all mayhem or anything.

Why would the Neve be so quiet in comparison?? I don't know yet. Need to research. My first thought is, maybe it is damaged somehow. But first, continuing with my Rockerverb comparison.

ooooo... and I swear down the Ultra-G has more high-frequency content!

When I level match the clips and compare:

Red == Neve DI box
White == Ultra-G

There are some very very minute differences.

Is it possible one is putting out instrument or mic level while the other is putting out line?
