Is a DI in YOUR pedalboard??

[gelinas666]

I run my pedal board into my Reddi Di ,then to my Amp and FOH..

So far I've had good luck with the DI's out of my amps, an Ashdown Blue 180 and a Carvin MB10. If the sound guy hands me a DI box, I use it.

does anyone put a DI in their pedalboard?

I have in the past but not at the moment. Using the XLR out of my Mesa D-800 right now.

Wow nice

My Darkglass Vintage Ultra V2 has DI out.

I’m also using the DI out from my Darkglass Vintage Ultra V2, despite the fact that my amp heads have a DI out. Nothing wrong with those, either...

Grace Felix Pre between my effects chain and amp.

Line 6 Helix Floor, so technically yes.

I used to have several DIs on my board, my main one being in the preamp, a backup in an Aphex exciter, another in a compressor...
Backup for the backup.

Right now I'm running a Fdeck HPF-Pre III, no DI. Either I'm backlined with an amp or running into a house JDI. If I gig at a place I don't know, I'll bring a DI.

[DirtyDuke]

a bunch of my preamps have Dis

But I use these 2 for different boards

 

[Zbysek]

Yes. Either EBS Microbass II or Broughton HPF DI.

RNDI is built into my interface at home, and is the house DI for the church campuses I play at, so while not built in my board it’s what I always use.

I do have the Shift Line Olympic built in and ready though. Usually use it direct into the RNDI, and special occasions I’ll run it parallel to it and use the RNDI as a clean side and Olympic as a dirty sound.

My Darkglass Alpha/Omega has a direct out, but I only use it for recording. Usually use the DI on the back of my DNA 1350.

Excuse the rat's nest!
But yes, the bottom row of pedals, plus the F-Deck is fed into the radial ABY. Channel B is fed to the 360+ preamp and then into the Palmer DI for FOH, and then through straight into the power amp via the effects return on my amp's channel B.
Channel A is fed straight into my amp's channel A preamp, bypassing the 360+ and DI.

 

[andronik]

Yes and it is it's only purpose .. to go ampless.
For now work in progress rig, DI incorporated in Sadowsky pedal preamp.

and the sunglasses....

 

[Johno Dunn]

Out of Le Bass. Even has a cab IR on it if I need one!

 

[HOOLIGAN]

Always used the DI (pre-EQ mode) on my Super Bassman, despite having a VTDI running into the front of the amp.
Recently got the Steve Harris pedal, and used the DI in that at the last gig.
It sounded amazing, so I will be using it for the foreseeable future

I've been using my Shift Line Olympic IIIs as a DI but just ordered an RNDI just to see if it is as good as everyone says it is. It runs off phantom power so I don't have to worry about powering it...just running a cord from the SLO to the RNDI.
