Whirlwind EDB1 Passive Direct Box Review

Whirlwind EDB1 Passive Direct Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this product for my church band. It has shipped in time and was the product they showed on the web. I could purchase this item in the local store at $35 without tax for church but amazon was cheaper a little bit. I had enough time to wait so I ordered this here to save money. The product works well and as it is this is not a professional level DI but a standard. We have many for instruments and are satisfied. In comparison to its price it's very good in quality.

LR Baggs Feedback Master Preamp Review

LR Baggs Feedback Master Preamp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Simple to use, clean-sounding device. Baggs's
use of efficient circuit design delivers a clear,
transparent sound. This preamp doesn't color the
sound much.
The screws that attach the belt-clip to the outside
of the case are very short and apt to work lose.
They also, on my unit, caused the device to buzz
because they touched the metal on the inside. Some
kind of grounding problem I guess. My unit may
be defective but I never returned it to Baggs of
called them to ask about it. Instead, I just
removed the screws and have used the unit parked
on a table or on an amp... a lousy solution
admittedly, but at the time I was using this a
lot I was performing on a weekly basis and didn't
want to go without the unit while I returned it
to Baggs. I was pessimistic about the belt-clip
screw buzzing being a fixable issue at the time.
SO - it sounds great. It notch-filters feedback
admirably, but seems to have this design flaw that
made it inconvenient for me to use, even though
I put up with it for a few years.

Much audio circuitry these days is put together with integrated circuits, or op amps. These chips are versatile and easy to design with, but the drawback of that versatility is that this circuitry usually includes many extra parts that aren't needed in every application. These extra parts can cloud the sound and add noise. Contrarily, a discrete circuit has o

Behringer Active DI Box for Guitar GI100 Review

Behringer Active DI Box for Guitar GI100
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
[1] Behringer Ultra-G is very useful if you're planning to record your own stuff. My band rents a studio room to practice. The system used to record us is simple (and it's free): A cheap environment mic is used to record drums and the voice goes directly to the mixer. The result is a poor quality recording: The music is all mixed and it sounds terrible. The voice is the only thing that sounds great because it's directly recorded to the console. This reference tape is very improtant because we use this tape to hear what is okey and what we have to improve. Well, now I use this Direct Box to record my guitar directly to the console. We put the environment mic inside the room to record the drummer. The result is a more separated mix: The voice and the guitar sound great and the drums are okey, it's to "understand" it and to correct mistakes. I have to mention that the cabinet simulator included in the Ultra -Gcabinet is incredible, sounds natural and let you record directly without an expensive amp.
[2]So you're going to play live? Well, you can use the traditional mic system AND additionaly connect your guitar to to the console thru the direct box. Or you can use only the direct box instead of the mic in your amp. The problem with the mics is that they filter others sounds and frequences (like the drums) Sometimes this could be a nightmare to the sound engineers. With the direct box you avoid this problem and you get a more clean sound from your guitar.
My band play death metal, so it's important to hear the riffs, the solos, the drum rolls and the bass lines properly to enjoy the music. This little red devil is going to solve a lot of problems like home recording, live playing and studio recording. If you're a guitar player like me, do yourself a favor and get one now, you'll be very pleased with the results.

Tech 21 BSDR SansAmp Bass Driver DI Review

Tech 21 BSDR SansAmp Bass Driver DI
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had my SansAmp Bass Driver DI for nearly 10 years, and it is the single best piece of equipment you can buy for your bass rig on a limited budget. I use it twice a week live, and have used it for direct recording on numerous occasions. I have had people stop me after shows to ask me about my excellent sounding "rig", which includes the SansAmp into a cheap compressor and a small combo amp. It can do great things even for an inexpensive bass, and sounds fantastic with my Warwick and Fender American Jazz basses. It is an absolute essential for bass players.

Pre-amp, stomp box and DI all in one. Dial up big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions, and all in between.

Pyle-Pro PDC21 - ¼'' Instrument To Balanced & Unbalanced (1/4''/XLR) Direct Box Review

Pyle-Pro PDC21 - ΒΌ'' Instrument To Balanced and Unbalanced (1/4''/XLR) Direct Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I bought this direct box the price was only $8! It's since gone up to $11, but that's still a phenomenal value for a decent piece of gear. I've been using two of these to turn a 1/4" unbalanced (guitar) signal into a balanced (XLR) signal in order to run the cable about 50 feet without introducing noise into the signal path, and it works like a champ. The box doesn't color the sound much at all.
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to pick up a decent D.I. at a phenomenal price.
