Studio-quality, transformer-based tube DI (Direct Injection) box.
A unity-gain (1:1) tube preamplifier and active summing unit.
LUCE – light in Italian – is a studio-quality, transformer-based tube DI (Direct Injection) box; a unity-gain (1:1) tube preamplifier and active summing unit.
The main purpose of a DI box is to convert an unbalanced, high-impedance instrument signal into a balanced, low-impedance signal — allowing long cable runs without interference and enabling direct connection to a mixing console or studio interface.
Beyond that, LUCE also provides an additional unbalanced output that benefits from the tube circuit, plus an active summing stage that allows two instruments to be connected at once.
All in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.
Inside the LUCE you’ll find one high-quality, low-noise ECC88/6922 tube and one OEP/Carnhill audio transformer, just like those found in legendary British consoles.

What our artists say about it…
“The LUCE sounds beautiful! Compact and well designed.” Tim Lefebvre
“Amazing! I sound like me at my best. Everyone should get 2 of these!” Sean Hurley
“The LUCE adds a beautiful warmth to my upright bass tone, smoothing the highs while tightening and focusing the low end. The LUCE is a tiny but mighty, must have piece of gear!” Billy Mohler
“LUCE is the warm studio quality sound you can fit in your pocket! Beautiful sound!” Panagiotis Andreou
