VT Bass DI XLR to amp

So I can inform you that it works fine to take the XLR signal to the amp. If anything the signal was quite low. I've only tried it at home though but i see no reason why it wouldn't translate to a live situation.


The XLR is designed to send a microphone level signal to a microphone preamp.

The 1/4" is designed to send an instrument level signal to other devices operating at that level.
