A Top-of-the-line Active DI!

The Whirlwind Hotbox active direct box's ultra-clean front-end circuitry provides you with the extremely wide, flat frequency response you need for pro-sounding performances. Able to operate with either batteries or phantom power, you'll be amazed at how the Hotbox makes previously hidden harmonics pop out of the high-output passive pickups in your guitar or bass. Featuring 1/4" parallel wired in/out jacks, a ground lift switch, and a 20dB pad, the Whirlwind Hotbox is a top-of-the-line active direct box!
