So, i did a little test comparing my focusrite saffire pro 40 DI's vs. the DI in the GAP Pre-73.
I dont have a Reampbox at the moment so i cant test it out but to those who do reamp i ask you which DI sounds better for potential reamping?
Or should i dish out for a countryman Type 85?

Test order: Focusrite, GAP, Focusrite , GAP

Guitar was a Gibson SG with bareknuckle rebel yell's
Boring chord progression and chugs but its for the sake of comparing!

Thanks!
 
To me the Focusrite sounds better, more clean and upfront, but I'm not a DI pro so this very clean sound is maybe not that good, I don't know :D
 
I like the GAP but i dont really know how it translates when distortion is applied. the focusright sounds cleaner, the GAP to me has a fuller midrange.
 
Thanks for the replies, i don't have my reamp gear yet, but just through guitar rig the GAP has a better midrange while being a bit darker.The focusrite seems very hollow even with turning the mids up on the amp sims. Kinda strange for the rebel yell's as there very mid heavy pickups.
Ill be getting a red eye soon so maybe the DI on that will be better than these too.
