Jad & Freer Audio LUCE Studio-Quality Transformer-Based ECC88 Tube DI

LUCE - light in Italian - is a studio-quality, transformer-based tube D.I. (Direct Injection) box, a unity-gain (1:1) tube preamplifier and active summing unit, all in a SMALL PEDAL FORMAT!

The main purpose of a DI box is to convert an unbalanced, high-impedance instrument signal into a balanced, low-impedance signal - allowing long cable runs without interference and enabling direct connection to a mixing console or studio interface.

Beyond that, LUCE also provides an additional unbalanced output that benefits from the tube circuit, plus an active summing stage that allows two instruments to be connected at once. All in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.

Inside the LUCE you’ll find one high-quality, low-noise ECC88/6922 tube and one OEP/Carnhill audio transformer, just like those found in legendary British consoles.

“The LUCE sounds beautiful! Compact and well designed.” - Tim Lefebvre
