[quote="Sheldon Dingwall":3h6pc3f8]Hi fj,
Rolled down, the high mid sounds like an old-school tone control but without losing definition in the highs.
The Darkglass is more in your face with everything.

Not that you need another +1 after the master has chimed in but…yes, I feel/hear the same thing with my DG equipped AB1 3X. In active mode the high mid control sounds just like a passive tone control on a passive bass. This, to me, is a good thing.
I don't run tweeters and go for more of an old school vibe and the high mid control rarely needs to be boosted but when I do it's pretty mix slicing good.
The mid control on the DG TC (500 hz) is the one I find magical. Cut, it can give you a nice, scooped Jazz-esque tone and boosted it can give lower notes the body and definition they need in a mix especially if you use overdrive/distortion.
Love this pre with the long scale Dingwall's.
