I've been using a Countryman DI to FOH for years. I'm just wondering what everybody's using. |

my only DI has been the sansamp and I got it on sorta a whim, not so much a need. But I definitely dig it. |

However, sometimes you get a soundguy who will insist on using a DI.
Its not worth getting into an argument, so I just use whatever DI they have, usually a Behringer....
I should probably buy a decent DI for these situations, so I will keep an eye on this thread  |

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | I use the EBS Microbass II's DI because I double on upright and it's good to have one signal I can match up myself going to FOH for both. But I've used a Countryman many times in the past and I dig it a lot. I dig the Radial line of DI's, too. |

Sansamp for a preamp/tone shaping DI.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Oslo, Norway | | I usually gig with a combination of both mic'ed and DI, and use whatever the house has for DI box (for better or, usually, worse). This was one of the reasons I got my sansamp, but I have since decided that I like it better at the start of my effects chain than at the end, so I guess I'll be shopping for a new DI soon  |

Of course, I'm in your usual, nobody cares about us band. We are opening for We Are the Fury this weekend though! (they've been on MTV, aka the biggest band we've ever played with)

To my luck, we have our own, skilled soundguy (he's also a skilled bassplayer), so I'm fine.. |

haha, kidding, thanks!
I just remembered that my amp doesn't have a DI, but it does have a line out (post EQ) so if they ever want to DI my amp, I will have them run it from that. The line out is 1/4" BTW
