I have the Whirlwind Director and I also had the Proco equivalent. I like them very much.
You may also want to search eBay for used UTC A-10 transformers? 50 kilo ohms input with multiple output windings for 50-600 ohm. Nice big and heavy. Really warm sounding. You stick it in a metal box and add connectors, a couple of switches and voilà!
Lover of all the DI's

ditto on what Remy said
you guys already know I love DIY
so
head to Jensen Transformers for some circuit ideas for DI boxes and re-amplification ideas
http://www.jensen-transformers.com/apps_sc.html
here is what they call the FULL FEATURED unit

but
do look at the others and try to understand what they are doing with each one
it's simple stuff but you will learn things from each circuit idea
there are other circuit ideas out there on the net and this will include active units
search away
and have fun
