Product Overview

A tube direct box module designed for their 500 series format, LaChapell's 500TDI uses the same TrueTube™ technology that's featured in the popular 583S Mk2. TrueTube™ technology provides proper operating voltage to the 12DW7 tube offering you rich tube harmonics and remarkable detail. It includes 2 knobs that enable the user to drive the tube input separately from the output, giving a wide variety of tonal possibilities. The upper input is a high impedance input; the lower input can be used as a through -OR- a lower impedance input for more sound options.

LaChapell 500TDI Features:

  • 500 Series Tube DI - The 500TDI is the first properly powered vacuum tube DI for the 500 series format. Incredibly versatile, it ranges from clean to gritty, perfect for bass, keys, or other line level sources.
  • TrueTube Powered Tubes - As with all LaChapell Audio 500 series modules with tubes, the 500TDI fully powers the vacuum tube with TrueTube™ technology. Providing a full 250V without stressing or straining the power supply, the 12DW7 vacuum tube in the 500TDI operates as a tube should — Great headroom and rich harmonics with a pleasant overdrive when necessary.
  • Two Input Options - The front panel ¼" jacks provide even more versatility. The bottom jack is a through output, but ALSO can be used as an input. Each jack offers a slightly different sound.
  • Dual drive knobs - Separate input and output drive knobs provide you with a wide range of sonic options. Go heavy on the output knob for clean tones or lean on the input to get rich tube harmonics.
  • High Pass Filter - The built-in high pass filter on the 500TDI is...well..A high pass filter
