Fender Micro DI box and preamp
Product no: 9000-0012-2053 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

If you're a travelling musician, let the Fender Micro DI take some weight off your shoulders. Connect your instrument to its 6.3mm jack input and the signal is balanced on its way to the mixer. Ground noise is eliminated thanks to the ground-lift switch and you can correct a weak or overly powerful input signal with the gain switch. You can also send the sound of your guitar directly to your amplifier via the unbalanced output. This practical, durable and manageable pedal can be powered by any standard 9-volt adapter.

Micro DI: bass, electro-acoustic and electric

The Micro DI is a tool for bassists and electro-acoustic guitarists, among others. The DI box is great if you're tired of hauling that heavy amplifier from one gig to another, just put it at the end of your effects and engage the Cabinet Simulator. If you turn this compact stomp box off, its true bypass circuit makes sure that the sound leaves this little black box the way it entered.

Wrote the following about Fender Micro DI box and preamp

D.I. actif avec Pad -20/0/+20 dB.
Simul de HP (débrayable avec switch On/Off) qui peut bien dépanner. Ground/Lift pour les problèmes de masse.
Fiches Neutrik: vu le prix de l'appareil, c'est hallucinant !!!
Excellent. Le boitier est solide et le format est juste génial. Vous pouvez y aller !!!

Wrote the following about Fender Micro DI box and preamp

Klein, kleiner, kleinst - Deze DI is echt micro. Handig hulpje voor in de (home)studio, en als backup tijdens een optreden. Het circuit simuleert een 4 x 12" cabinet, en doet dat heel overtuigend. Kanttekening is wel dat de gain niet te extreem is, anders wordt het geluid iets wollig. Mooi is dat de DI de klank van de gitaar in takt laat. Het is duidelijk hoorbaar welk element je selecteert. Samen met mijn Okko Diablo Gain+ en mijn EHX Holy Grail heb je echt een wereld geluid binnen je (home)studio.

Voor het geld hoef je het zeker niet te laten. Wel moet je weten dat de DI niet werkt op phantoomvoeding, en de jack uitgang ook beinvloed wordt door de cab simulator. Je zult dus naast de DI ook een splitter moeten hebben als je hem naast je versterker wilt gebruiken, en altijd een voeding want de DI werkt niet op batterijen.

Ik gebruik dit apparaatje in mijn thuisstudio. Ik gebruik hem alleen voor de speakersimulatie. Die werkt bijzonder goed. Als ik mijn gitaar achtereenvolgens aansluit op een Ibanez Tubescreamer, deze Fender DI en mijn computer, dan heb ik een wereldgeluid. Bij het opnemen van mijn jazzgitaar gebruik ik deze DI ook. Maar dan kleur ik het geluid bij met een virtuele gitaarversterker (AC Box Combo van Native Intruments).
