Your New Tonal Canvas

Looking to lighten your rig? The Walrus Audio Canvas Stereo DI box offers a pristine and uncolored way to bring your sound to the live stage! This handy box boasts a completely flat 20Hz–20kHz response to serve as your sonic base, no matter what instrument you’re using. If you like to change up your gear often or run a multi-instrument setup, dual LI and DI modes offer optimal connection to both high-impedance and low-impedance sources. A -15dB pad — -35dB total when combined with the DI mode’s built-in pad — and a hum-reducing ground lift make the Walrus Audio Canvas Stereo DI box a hassle-free, all-in-one solution that ensures hooking up your live rig will be a breeze.

Direct Injection and Line Isolator modes

There are few places that understand the desire to tinker with your gear setup better than Sweetwater — that’s why we love the Canvas Stereo DI box’s ability to switch between DI and LI modes!

Direct Injection mode: If you’re running a high-impedance source like a guitar or bass, the DI mode should be your first choice. This mode functions best with an output impedance of 1,000 ohms and above, and it applies a -20dB pad (-35dB with the regular pad engaged) to properly balance your sound levels.

Line Isolator mode: The LI mode functions similarly to the DI mode, but is better utilized for low-impedance sources like amp/cab sims, keys, synths, and any other source under 1,000 ohms. This mode will require significantly less preamp gain than DI mode.

Walrus Audio Canvas Stereo Direct Injection Box Features:

  • Dual 1/4-inch thru and in jacks, with stereo XLR output for easy connection to PA systems and other live-sound setups
  • Completely flat 20Hz–20kHz frequency response for an uncolored tone
  • Stereo or mono functionality using the sum switch
  • -15dB pad to balance your sound and reduce distortion
  • DI and LI modes for optimal connection with high- and low-impedance outputs
  • DI mode includes a -20 dB (-35dB with the pad engaged) signal reduction
  • Ground lift switch that isolates the ground pin to reduce hum
  • Custom wound transformers for a full, warm frequency response

Great DI

I use this both in studio and live settings. It is well constructed, good looking, and functions as advertised. Great DI for my ampless rig, it was the secret sauce that optimized my amp/cab sim pedal.

Clever, attractive, good sound

I'm not going go nuclear in praise of a DI but my early experience with the Canvas has been completely satisfactory. The D.I/Line Isolator feature is really neat for me, as my primary use for this is routing audio out of a MainStage-running MacBook. Try both on whatever sources you are using. The mono-summing thru option are also a useful feature not found on many stereo DIs. Sound is, as far as I can tell, excellent. Size factor is great, and the look and tactile feel is great FWIW. But I write mostly to say that Sweetwater customer support is NO JOKE. I ordered the wrong DI for my purposes, a fact that became immediately clear to me upon unboxing. I needed the unit for a show that was four days away, and Adam Hunter made it happen with a day to spare (and to try out the kind of complicated rig out in advance.) I don't take that for granted. Sweetwater reps really step up and make miracles happen some times.

Works great, good features, perfect size!

I tried this out on the weekend to go direct with my Strymon Iridium. The signal was really clear and strong, an improvement over the DI box that I was using. I love the features of this Canvas DI, and the size is fantastic for travelling.
Rated 4/5

Great utility box for amp modeling units. Fits under Temple Audio board nicely

Bought this and the mono version to fit under my Temple Audio Duo board for use with my HX Stomp XL. Stereo version is hooked up to the Main L/R output and utilizing XLR and thru outputs patched into the side panel mounts. Signal is adjustable on the box in conjunction with signal level set from the Stomp and I can get a lot of healthy signal without the noise after tweaking.
