As its my main gigging setup I can justify a few hundred quid for one with a valve in it.
This one is quiet as a mouse. Well it is with gain and vol on zero. There's no crackle on this one and it's just got that familiar dull hum...
Plugged in a P bass and set gain to 1.00 and vol to about a quarter.
Crikey gosh/flip me/blummin' Nora/shit the bed etc.
It sounds remarkable like.. like.. is there a b15 in the room? Cor.
Dunno about gigging a 50 tho - might be overkill when 9 times out of 10 I DI to FOH
Besides, must resist - I do not need yet another bass amp.
Despite my minor hiccup it really is very very good...
Tell me again how great the Behringer DI box is and how I don't need an ampeg to get that sound.
The Dave Hall Amps preamp DI pedal gets about 95% of the way there though for £150..
Thing is, the Transformer DI out on the PF20T is so good that I'd say that function alone is worth the entry ticket - it's basically an all valve preamp/DI pedal on steroids.
It did a fab job and sounded really really authoritative - it's got that distinct valve tone to it (having a valve in it!) and it definitely adds to the sound - much preferred it to the other preamps I've gigged with so it's staying on the board at the moment. I'd say a veritable bargain at £150 new.
The HB one above is also well regarded and similar to the MXR-80 IIRC but cheaper. Don't know about noise floor on it tho. Would be worth looking at the Dr J Sparrow (about £60) - I have one and it's good - not the most dynamic pedal, but does the job well enough. Low noise floor for me would be the very super-clean MXR-80 pedal, which is pretty much seen as the go-to pedal for clean noiseless DI
