Using V3
  :
The V3

presets have been voiced with the intent of being a starting
point for the recording process.
The key to good recordings is to consider all the variables you will
encounter during the process.
For example…which microphone are you using? Are you recording a
particularly bright guitar into a very trebly guitar amplifier? Are the
strings on your acoustic made of metal or nylon? Is the room live or
flat?
We mention this because V3

is intended as a reference, not a hard-
and-fast absolute. For your particular applications, your bass guitar
may sound better through a non-bass preset.
If you need to, give it a twist…you’ll find the setting for the tone you are
searching for!
The DPS

is ideal for use as a DI box. Plug the instrument into either
input and use the XLR or ¼” (or both) outputs to connect to your
recorder, board or PA system.
Because of its low noise, excellent tonal qualities, and high quality
digital converters, the DPS

is ideal for running mixes through before
recording to DAT, ADAT, DAW, or even into your computer. Used as a
mastering device, the preamps are capable of adding warmth and
gentle tube compression to the signal. Variable Input and Output level
controls make the preamps in the DPS ideal for level matching material
in postproduction situations…an extremely valuable use!
