Gold Tone GM-70 F-Style Mandolin (Two Tone Tobacco)

Gold Tone GM-70 F-Style Mandolin (Two Tone Tobacco) Review



The GM-70 is a solid wood F-style mandolin with carved top. It provides a traditional bluegrass punch and is shop adjusted for excellent playability. This professional mandolin has the highest grade materials including ebony fingerboard and bridge, solid spruce top, solid maple back, gold-plated hardware, genuine abalone inlay and a gorgeous gloss finish. Each GM-70 undergoes a complete professional setup in the Gold Tone Factory in Florida. To increase tone we sand the bridge feet for perfect fit with the top. To assure the best playability and lowest action we level and polish frets, adjust the truss rod, oil the fingerboard, adjust slots in the nut and bridge, and electronically intonate the bridge. This attention to detail assures every GM-70 of excellent tone and the lowest possible string action!

Behringer BDI21 V-Tone Bass Amp Modeler

Behringer BDI21 V-Tone Bass Amp Modeler Review



Behringer BDI21 V-Tone Bass Amp Modeler Feature

  • Authentic V-TONE modeling technology capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, funky slap sounds, crunchy distortions and all in between
  • Provides a truckload of great amps in a single stomp box—from traditional bass amps to modern overdriven amp tones that would typically require a multitude of effects units
  • Presence control for definition and upper harmonics plus ultra-musical 2-band EQ specifically tuned for bass guitars
  • Output available on 1/4' TS or balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors
  • Runs on 9 V battery or the BEHRINGER PSU-SB DC power supply (not included)
  • Provides a truckload of great amps in a single stomp box—from traditional bass amps to modern overdriven amp tones
  • Gold-plated XLR connectors
There are DI boxes... and then there's the V-TONE BASS BDI21, a feature-packed analog DI box built especially for bass.

A feature-packed analog DI box built especially for bass.

Ground lift switch that eliminates typical ground loop hum problems.

Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch outputs.

Not Your Average DI Box
The BDI21 combines the features of an active DI (direct injection) box with our proprietary tube emulation circuitry. It's like having a truckload of vintage tube amps right at your toes! The Blend control allows you to mix the amount of tube emulation you want with your direct bass signal. And if you don't want to use the tube emulation feature, just step on the switch and the ADI21 functions as a superb active DI box.

So Easy to Use
With its dedicated DRIVE, TREBLE, BASS, LEVEL, and PRESENCE dials, the BDI21 DI box goes above and beyond, giving you vintage tube tones for some funked-up slap, gonzo overdrive and everything in-between. You can use the BDI21 as a recording output DI, with tube emulation, or as a standard active DI box, when running in bypass mode. The output is laid out on 1/4" TS or balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors. There's also a ground lift switch that eliminates typical ground loop hum problems. You can power this bad boy with a 9V battery or Behringer's PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).

Not Just for Bass

  • Use With Other Instruments
    The BDI21 is not only for bass guitars. You can try it with other instruments (e. g. acoustic/electric guitars, keyboards etc.) to create new sounds and enhance your music. Please make sure that the input level is not too high to avoid overloading the BDI21.

  • Direct to a Mixing Console
    For live and studio applications you can connect the balanced LR BAL OUT directly to a mic input of a mixing console. Be sure not to overload the input by using the gain control of the respective channel. For further information please refer to the user's manual of your mixing console.

  • Use Without Instruments
    You can use the BDI21 without an instrument as an outboard processor connected to an insert or an effect path (aux send/ return) of your mixing console to affect the signal of a particular channel. This way you can enhance existing tracks during mixdown. For further information please refer to the user's manual of your mixing console.
