Rated 4.5/5

Great, solid DI box!

First off, Sweetwater got this DI to my door in 3 days! Holy smokes that was FAST! Anyway, it afforded me a three day weekend to play around with this bad boy of a DI box. I purchased it for an upcoming recording. I needed the ability to record two guitar heads AND a direct signal at once. This guy handles it with no signal loss what-so-eva!!! I was able to plug guitar in, run the "thru" to each amp's input, and the xlr to my interface, and hit record! Doesn't get any easier to use. I couldn't find any other DI that had two (2) thru AND a XLR out! No I have the ability to record three takes of a single performance and them blend or choose which recorded sound I like best, AND/OR use any guitar software plugin (EZ mix2, Amplitube, Ampire, etc) after the musician has gone home to get the best possible tone for each recording!!!

Almost perfect

Solidly built, sounds great, but XLR doesn't lock into the Jack. This creates a weak link in my rig.
