"Seymour Duncan Paranormal - THE Bass Direct Box to Have"

Feature:
It features everything that a regular DI has, you know XLR and what not. ALSO it has an active EQ. You can use it to record, play live, or boost your amp.

Quality:
Built like a tank. Throw it. I dare you. It will work like a charm.

Value:
This is where I say, I wish it was cheaper. but hey, it's worth it.

Desirability:
GORGEOUS pedal. Green and black? Great color. The looks are delicious. Easily the sexiest DI you can get.

Sound:
The sound is great. Basically it boosts your EQ on your amp. And that is a gorgeous output. You also get a slap contour. So go ahead and slap pop your fingers off.

Ease of Use:
It's three knobs with two activating switches. You got your standard input and output jacks. Power supply jack. and BAM. Standard Bass, Mid Range, and Treble controls. Bypass and Slap Contour switches. You get a custom slap tone with that slap contour. It curves the EQ so that you can slap pop with the proper settings. Nifty, huh?

Support:
Never had to check. But Seymour Duncan? Probably good service.

Overall:
It's a great direct box. I suggest you get it. I love how it features and active EQ. Nothing to not love. This will last me my entire bass career.

About This Product!
Description
Like all DIs, the SFX06 sports a balanced line out XLR jack (with ground lift) so you can feed a front-of-house mixing board or a recording console with no loss of signal. But that's where the similarities end, because the Paranormal Bass Direct Box also features 3 bands of active EQ specifically optimized for bass.

This allows you to dial in your tone in any room, sculpting your lows, mids, and highs quickly and easily with up to 12dB of boost or cut for each band of EQ. It's the perfect solution for bassists who want the flexibility of an active system but don't want to modify their instrument.

The SFX-06 also features Duncan's proprietary Slap Contour switch, which applies an additional preset EQ curve to whatever settings you've chosen with the 3-band EQ. This produces a tone that's perfect for slap playing but also works great as an alternate sound for fingerstyle or pick playing. This switchable function makes the Paranormal Bass Direct Box even more flexible onstage and in the studio. It's a must for every gig and every session. Powered by a single 9-volt battery or a regulated DC power supply. And like all Seymour Duncan pedals, it's built like tank.
