Radial JDX 48 1-Channel Active Instrument Direct Box

Worked like a charm and added another level of clarity to my guitar tone with little to no effort.

So far so good!

This is a great idea but will only work if you have a head unit that plugs into a cabinet or you have a combo amp which you can split the speaker away from the amp - quarter inch jackets required.

What a great idea. Giving a DI to FOH is ideal in many situations, but hard to do as all amps don't have a DI built in - especially a lot of vintage amps. This eliminates the need to mic a cabinet and gives you a GREAT sounding cabinet sound - it basically sounds like a mic'd cabinet through the PA. For live purposes, it's really all you need. Like that it's phantom powered too, that makes it less fiddly and as long as that is an option for your channel - which, on most PA's, it usually is - you're good to go - but if not you're not SOL as you have a power supply.Your soundman will thank you!
