Question plugging a guitar direct into a ART TPS ii.
Today i bought a ART TPS ii because of the price and reviews to supplement my Profire 2626, I hooked everything up and plugged a guitar in as a direct instrument in the first input and it sounded grainy and a little buzzy, is this normal when not using this type of pre-amp with a microphone?

Can you switch between line and Mic settings for that input, or use a line in?

The 1/4" front jack should work as a DI. No switch. Are you using the front input?

The grainy sound is not normal. Do you have another DI you could use to check the source signal?

Double-check the settings on the TPSII. With the +20 switch engaged it can breakup pretty quickly on hot sources.

My tpsII doesn't, so you either need to check the settings or you have a bad unit.
