well, I have a 120W tube guitar amp head with no speaker cab yet. I also possess a decent Rolls DI box with attenuation adjuster.

is there a way I can run a signal from the amp through the DI without damaging the amplifier?

tl;dr: DI fixes ground loop?

I've had the Church on my back (one guy anyway) about the loop for deaf people. Now while I'll not go into the politics and just say I'd prefer people to use their hearing aids to amplify the ambient sound, not tune into a dodgy loop...
ANYWAY I digress.

Here's a quote from the Kapt:

"You'll rarely get good results plugging a guitar straight into an interface. Depending on how it's set, you could be loading down the guitar signal. A direct box, a preamp, or a POD (or similar) may help get a better signal."

What is a good quality, yet affordable DI box?

i just picked up a Pro Co DB-1 Direct Box at a discount price at a local store, but it did not come with the directions (hence the price drop). but i only paid $30 for it.

anyway, could someone fill me in on the features/options so that i can use this correctly? thanks in advance

I'm looking for an affordable yet versitile DI box system. I'd want to pay about $40 per, maybe more. It all depends on quality.

I am looking for a DI box to record a bass in my home "studio" (if you can call it that).

Am I going to need to drop a wad to get a useable sound? Or can I get away with a 50$ box?

Thanks,

Jay

Hello good sound folks!

I just got a new POD X3. It has a XLR input as well as 1/4. I'd like to plug an additional guitar into that input. Is it possible to use something like this?

Thanks for your help :D

Hi,
I've an old VTDB-2B Tube Direct Box and I want to replace the tubes.
I sent an email to Demeter, but no reply...
Is there someone who can say me what tubes I must buy to replace it?
Thanks
