I'm an absolute novice, so the target audience for this device. It does look good, you can plug in instruments and use it for output. The vintage and instrument button change the guitar sound, which is nice. The small LED meters work just fine.Still two things bother me and should be reconsidered:1. The software is terrible: Ableton crashes often on a MBA M1, and there are too many VSTs included with a cumbersome installation process and taking up all your disk space - plus the user experience with those virtual knobs is terrible. I was simply looking for good piano samples, but no luck! Complicated synths and funky bass yes, but if you want clean sounds, it's not included or maybe I just don't find it between the junk.2. I bought the Studio Pack at a discount, which was really good value. The mic and headphones included are perfect to get started. However: there is no information about their specs anywhere. Considering the resemblance to the 80 USD Mackie EM91C microphone and 30 USD MC100 heaphones, you basically pay the full price for unspecified extras you could have bought separately, and that should just have been spelled out. If you have such a neat device, why trouble the experience by overdosing plugins, bad software and adding unbranded extras? A bit more Apple-logic, keeping it simple and clean, so that it "just works", would make the Volt 2 perfect.
For a portable interface I chose the Volt 2 and I was very happy with the promotional plugins (plate reverb and LA-2A set)! I've used a Solo 610 mic pre/D.I. and I get what they're going for...works nicely but I ain't sellin' the real tube preamp. Great tonal option though (more sparkle and grit for acoustic guitar and D.I. bass). But for my vocals the 'vintage' adds to much emphasis on certain consonants. So for final vocal tracking I'll reach for the actual 610 pre. But I'm quite pleased with the sound of this compact unit! Sounds i.m.h.o. more solid and inspiring than the UR-RT2 (which does have some nice DSP features that are quite useful in my home recording setup) this unit adds two great preamps to that interface ;-) hopefully future drivers and firmware can improve the latency performance
And we have recently added some minor improvements to the preamp circuit, addressing mainly the clipping behaviour and the colour of the overdrive circuit, which, when engaged, now unmistakably behaves like a classical overdriven tube bass amp.
Insert the tube to be tested into V1 and power up the amp. To read the bias of V1A and V1B make sure the input jack does not have a guitar plugged into it, turn the volume up to 11 (we're trying to match V1B to V1A's 33k grid stopper) and turn the Tone to 12. Set your multimeter to read DC Volts and place its probes on each leg of the cathode resistor. The voltage drop across resistor will be shown so record it. If the voltage is negative just ignore the sign. Then place the black probe on a ground and touch the red probe to V1's pin 1 to measure V1A plate voltage and record it. Place the red probe on V1's pin 6 to measure V1B's plate voltage and record it. 2ff7e9595c
