I have 2 Avalon U5 Direct Instrument Preamplifiers.
they both are in perfect working order.
they sound fantastic.
Super wide range frequency response.
Great for synths, drum machines, bass, guitar etc.
Insanely wide frequency response.
#1 FS: $550 - U5 DI - absolutely mint.
like new.
See the pics.
#2 FS: $475 - U5 DI - has some blems on the faceplate, doesn't have the original screwed in feet on the bottom.
I think it must have been in a rack at some point during its life so the feet were removed then.
See the pics.
On both units the knobs, buttons, jacks, switches etc are all perfect.
plug and play.
they are ready to go.
i'm not interested in any trades.
need the cash for medical bills.
