Which DI at start of chain

[keatz]

Hi, I'm just wondering what DI you would choose to go at the start of your chain when recording to capture your dry tone and to possibly reamp from if required?
I was originally thinking RNDI but now I'm wondering if that would be too coloured for this scenario. So maybe countryman Type 85 or JDI?
I'm actually really curious on the Warm Audio DI too. The active version also has passive option which I like the idea of as long as it is decent.
Look forward to your responses.

If you’re going to reamp the signal later I always advise people to use something that’s as close to a “wire with gain” level of clean and uncolored signal as possible. More often than not this means an active DI being powered by a transformer-isolated power supply or its own wall wart style power supply. A Countryman 85 or Radial J48 are both good choices for this.
