Double Bass DI to match wit Underwood

[Michael Glynn]

I really like Mike's idea a bunch. I still am wondering though if is there any danger of damaging the amp this way?

I hope not! I never even really thought about it. Is there a reason you think it might be bad?

Very interesting. Where can I find an XLR-1/4 converter/transformer?
Can you suggest to me the brand and model of your so can I search it on the WEB?

I am using the audio-technica CP8201. I think there are other similar devices out there, though.

You don't want to use the regular Sansamp pre. Use a
Sansamp Paradriver or find an old Sansamp Acoustic DI.
Both of these DI's have a more correct impedance with
the Underwood. The Countryman 85 DI is also a really
good match.

Just to add on that a bit. The Tech 21 website says the input impedance for the current Para Driver DI is 4.7 megOhm. I have a regular Bass Driver DI that's several years old and the owner's manual says its input is 1 megOhm.

You're asking the wrong guy. I'm pretty good with acoustics but an idiot on electrical stuff. I've heard from a few people that is should be fin. M-->
