Hey, I'm planning on buying a cheap DI preamp to add onto my pedalboard to gig with in my cover band (mainly rock/pop-rock songs), and these are the two pedals I'm interested in purchasing.

I was originally going to purchase the BDI21 (~$40) as it has really good sound quality while sacrificing build quality. Then I found the CP-60 for just $10 more. Based on the AI overview, it says the CP-60 has better build quality (metal case) but similar tone. I can't really trust the AI summary so I want your guys' advice on which DI preamp I should buy.

Song artwork made by me!

I made this back in 2023. Chill edm cover of wind of fjords/telamon's song. Wish I made it a little better, it feels pretty empty in my opinion. Just wanted to share it with everyone here :)

First image: Painting I made of HMHAS cover when I was 14. Sold it for $60. This might've been the best painting I've ever done as I've never blender colors like this before. I still miss it :_)

Second image: Limited edition HMHAS splatter cd! This has to be my most prized possession of hers. I got it for $14, listings are selling it for $60+ or more! I have it on display in my room right now.

Just some yap about my personal experience with Billie :)

Some background information; I've been listening to Billie Eilish since her WWAFAWDWG era in 2019 when bad guy was her most played song. There was a short period when I didn't listen to all her songs, but then she dropped HTE and she became my top favorite artist to ever touch this earth. Eventually I did start removing some of her songs from my playlist a year or two later after HTE released, but I did keep Happier Than Ever (the song), Therefore I am, NDA, and a couple others on my playlist. I think I was a much bigger fan when she released HMHAS. The best album that has ever released. All 10 songs instantly went into my playlist, though a year later and only two remained. (BOAF and L'amour). This simply showed I didn't listen to her anymore and I started moving on to new genres. I was sad about this.

Fast forward to recent times; I was watching a video of the HMHAS tour when she played Birds of a feather. Every time I listen to that song, it feels new, just like how I felt with Happier than Ever. I nearly cried listening to BOAF during that concert. I just love her voice.

I used to be such a huge fan. She would be the only person I'd listen to since 2019. I was so sad I missed out on the HMHAS tour, but tickets were freaking EXPENSIVE.

The reason why I stopped listening to her music, was simply because I was 'getting older' (no pun intended) and my taste in my music changed from pop/r&b, to more rock and metal music. Rock music would be the only thing I'd listen to, like Linkin Park, MCR, and Muse. Only recently like 1-2 weeks ago, I started listening to her songs in Don't Smile At Me and Happier Than Ever. Just yesterday I listened to BOAF in that tour, and I felt this nostalgic feeling as if I first listened to this album. It was such a great feeling. It's also kind of funny because I began listening to it again almost exactly 2 years later! (May 17).

Even after all these years, I still memorize nearly all her songs and could name any song by the first 5 seconds. Good to know she's never leaving my head lol.

Thanks for listening to my yap, just wanted to share this! :)

Sometimes they're bugged too. I open one and it works fine, but then I open another one and it just freezes and doesn't give me anything. The number also doesn't go down. I already opened 2 and it's still at 35.

I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM!!! THEY RUIN EVERYTHING!!!!111!!11!

I'm sorry for the sound effects i just wanted you to audibly hear what i go through in this game

These were in 2 seperate games. So much has happened in them.

New gear!

I just got this Ghostfire standard 1.5 for around $50 on ebay. I know it's not much, but it was a great deal. I'm planning on getting a DI preamp some time in June and eventually a tuner.

(PS I put this all together in under 3 minutes, you can see the patch cable loose in the muff lol)

MUSE - Cryogen (Live from O2 Academy Brixton)

MUSE - Cryogen (Live from O2 Academy Brixton) - YouTube - 0:39

This is the exact tone I want where you really feel it in your chest. In a way it sounds like an 8 string guitar, so I'm assuming there's not much low end.

Anything you guys suggest I add/remove? I know my cable management isn't great at all, but I also travel to places a lot and bring certain cables with me that are currently plugged into my pc.
