Whatever that compression I'm hearing on this thing is, it sounds so weird. Guitars don't usually take to compression very well, I'm not sure if that's coming from the TB because I don't see the 1176 going. Oh well, thanks for the high quality demo of it.
I have one of these. I have a hard time hearing the difference in the tone settings. I think my ears aren't attended to the subtleties yet. Or perhaps my ears got blown out from listening to music too loud.
Getting mine today from Reverb, finally. The demo used the line input on the back? Do you need to press the line button for that and when you do does its light indicator turn on too?
So, I’m literally about to order this pre-amp as I am super impressed by all the perfect reviews. One question: I have that exact interface and I’m wondering why you went through one of the line inputs and not the interface’s pre-amps. Is this something you’d recommend?
The reason that they went through the line inputs of the interface is that the signal coming out of this preamp is probably bei close to line level. Of they had put the signal from the TB12 into the interface's preamps, they probably would have overloaded the preamps.
Microphone Preamps always output at line level. Therefor the audio interface should accept the Mic Pre as a Line Level Input, not as a mic pre input on the interface itself. Microphone goes to mic Preamp's XLR mic input. Then the mic preamp line level output then goes into audio interface's line level input. Then of course the audio interface connects to the computer. I know this is a 2 year old question, but I'm responding to it anyway in the event that someone else with the same problem may happen upon this.
When testing something you need to be CONSISTANT when playing and you can't change your playing style and lr music style and rythm in the middle of tweeking knobs?? How the fuck are we gonna hear and understand how it sounds then?? A place like Reverb should know better!!

That was one painful demo boys 🙁
Need to demo a tuner.

How does it sound when you run a 56k modem dialing through it?
I dont think the back line in is Hi zi too. Also i wondered if the front hi zi is just TS and the back is TRS.

The Agile and the Vox were plugged directly into the 1/4" jack on the Tone Beast?
Yes, through the back.
Untuned guitar on a demo???? WTF???
Great playing ... :/
anyone got a used fredenstein bento 2 or any lunchbox selling or want to trade?
maybe try get someone who can actually play an instrument and tune a guitar
I would have preferred to hear a vocal
I hate when they use non bass players and one trick pony specialty basses for demos.

Ouch.
