Okay, I have a DI Box delimma, but I think I have settled it in my own mind
already. Is there such a thing as having too many DI Boxes? I have my
Behringer Ultra DI 100 and a Whirlwind IMP-2. The Behringer has two -20db
pad switches, which come in really handy when I am using my EMG humbucker
loaded, Devon "Ace Cooper" Diamond J 5 string. If I need to, the Behringer
can run straight from my amp head's speaker output into the console, reverse
an Unbalanced connection, etc... It is active, so it can send some good
juice to the mixing board. As for the IMP-2. It's just a DI Box with a
ground lift switch.
Uhhh, Ace, what is the delimma? Well, the Behringer has more features and I
get better usage out of it. The downside is the size of the thing. The boxy
size makes it hard to fit into one of the pockets on my gig bags. In the
case - HA! The Whirlwind IMP-2 fits into my shirt pocket in a pinch! So, I
am thinking about selling one of them - which will probably be the Whirlwind
for $24.00 + shipping = $4.00. So that means that I will be keeping the
Behringer Ultra DI - 100. I decided to use it this morning at church. I
swapped out the church's double DI deal and connected the Behringer. You
could really tell the difference in clarity vs the other "Non Active" DI. I
was impressed. And, if the sound guy would have turned me down in the mix, I
could have simply reached down and disengaged one of the -20db pads!
Well, I gotta go and get some sleep. The old boy will be 40 this coming
Saturday. So, I need all of the beauty rest that I can get. I don't want to
be one of those bald brothers with a wrinkled up head!
