PreSonus BlueTube DP V2

For some reasons the stereo line (TRS) outs of my Yamaha DGX660 are weak and when split into two TS cables in order to feed to my Focusrite Clarette+ Octopre they sounded very noisy to the point unusable. I tried all sort of boxes and cables and nothing worked. I got this unit used, like new. I don't even know whether the tubes exist in it but did see some lights. I have not even turned the "drive" on. It just worked. I used a TRS to TS from the DGX660 to the BluTube, then ran a pair of XLR cables to the Octopre. The sound is clean and strong and sounded like piano. The build is solid. I also have a Persons HP4 (headphone splitter) and it is also solid. I like them both.

It is ok but output quality is not as good as expected.

This is a very neat unit that performs well, especially at the price. The 'valve sound' facility is subtle when used in moderation and adds some warmth to the overall sound. I changed the Chinese 12AX7 with a USA Jan Philips 12AT7 and whilst this reduced the amount of gain available it made the sound and control much improved. VU meters are a nice touch to days gone by....only criticism is the abscence of an on/off switch....other than that it's a fine purchase.
