  • I have a passive pickup in my guitar. If I want to plug into PA, and play at home through amp, should I get a preamp or a DI box?

  • @sahilcc7 IF your guitar has no controls ie tone volume because its passive than in your case it may be better to get a preamp LR baggs makes a good one Also Fishoman has some new ones that get good reviews were you can adjust the tone etc. Good luck and thanks for the question!

  • Yes you can!

  • Do you need a DI Box when going in a Mixer or when Recording?

  • A Di Box is a good idea when going into the mixr it will bring your guitar to "Line Level" and probably improve your plugged in tone recording however is best accomplished by using a microphone placed near the sound hole etc. into your mixer our recording device hope that helps!.

  • @Zarfilms2007 and XLR is even better... personally, for the road uses... this box lasted 2yrs tops. The two screws to the XLR jack port came loose. Time to move on! Great DI for the buck though!

  • @swbarnettjr Agree! thanks for the post!

  • Is it possible to plug a guitar into an amp, then plug the output of the amp into the input of the direct box then to the mixer and get a sound you want? Or do they not work like that?

  • Could I connect a passive DI box in the following order.Guitar->Amp->DIbox->Snak­e->Mixer. That way to lower the signal of the amplifier going into the mix.Thank you in advance.Great video by the way

    Greetings from Ft.Worth, TX.

  • I get a crazy hum when i use my wireless system, someone said it was because the ground signal. Would a DIbox solve my problem, secondly is that what the ground lift switch is.

    Secondly i use about a 40ft cable from the wireless system to my pedal board to my amp. 40ft because its a dual wireless system with another guitar. so long cables are our only solution to what would be a wireless system.

    So im asking, I need this right? being that im using a long cable and a wireless system

  • @arg13415 Thnx!
