Oversized custom-wound Jensen transformer

Despite the complex circuitry housed within the unit, the HDI has an  elegant set of controls that allows the musician or engineer to dial up a  record-ready sound with a minimal amount of tweaking required. The  Level control drives the inputs of the HDI with instant visual feedback  from the responsive front panel meter, while the Color knob provides  seamless blending between an ultra-clean tone and amp-style distortion  and saturation, so you can add just the right amount of character and  grit to your instrument. A smooth Opto compressor can be engaged to  control the peaks of the input signal, and a High-Pass Filter clears up  any excessive low frequencies added by the Color control. Lastly, a  Presence control accentuates the highs and high-mids, providing the  ability to cut through the mix with results that are sure to impress.
