DI Test For Electric Guitars

May 26, 2010

This video is the testing sample for kevinmundarai-san’s request.
He uses LINE6 POD XT.I don’t have it unfortunately.So I used LINE6 guitarPORT for sound source instead.It uses PC as effect-DSP and DAC is 44.1kHZ/16bits.
He’s considering AVALON DESIGN U5.But I thought some other DI should be added as samples to compare.
All DI were Plugged into RME Fireface800 and all the sources were recorded by LOGIC PRO7.2.
On Logic,added NO EFFECTS but only output level adjustment.
The guitar is my custom-made Strato with Bartolini pick-ups. Ash body and no tremolo unit.
All the sources were played on Rhythm pick-up(forward) and Lead pick-up(backward)

The followings are the Table of contents :

1:DIRECT FROM GUITARPORT CLEAN
Without DI,Direct to RME.
Amp-simulator : “59Tweed Bassman”
Gain=3,VOL=10,TONEs are all “5″(middle)

2:AVALON DESIGN U5 TONE=OFF CLEAN
(OFF=BYPASS)

3:AVALON DESIGN U5 TONE=3 CLEAN
U5 has 6Preset-Tone. I chose “3″ because it was natural.

4:RADIAL JDI MkIII
This is a passive DI with JENSEN transformer.Sometime transformers are useful for reducing Digitalness.

5.LR.BAGGS PARA ACOUSTIC DI ClEAN
This is for acoustic guitars.But I use it for E.Bass sometime.Much better than some Bass DI.

6:FULL TUBE DI CLEAN
This is really “just sample” Because this DI was discontinued and maybe hard to find the “USED”.
Named “Retrospec The Juice Box”.

7-12:”DRIVE” sounds. Amp-simulator is “’68 Brit 50watt Plexi”(Marshall?)
Gain,VOL=10 TONEs=all 5
