JimBobTTD Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hello! I'm torn at the moment. I want a DI rig that can be used with my amp bit also without it. At present, I have a DHA VT1 which is great. I want to add a spot of chorus and octave to it. So...do I get individual pedals and go octave > chorus > DI/preamp or get a Line6 multifx and go from that to the DI? I can see the benefits of a Line6, but as the one I'm looking at doesn't have a DI, that pedal needs to stay. I could end up with some joy with the other fx and the amp sims could be cool. But, on the other hand, a decent chorus and a decent octaver would sound better. I'd be looking at the MXR stuff. A bonus is that I have a pedalboard already. As I mentioned, I'm torn. BC massive - what should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Could the Zoom B3 be another option to consider? It's got a DI built in, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Getting a DI box with ground lift can be a life saver live. My sugestion is that whatever you end up with, you make sure that either your DI box has that, or whatever pedal you use for DI does.

It's a fantastic piece of kit and I want to hang on to it, really. Valve too. I fully agree about it being a lifesaver! I keep a passive Behringer in the bag too, although I have not had to use it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBobTTD Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I decided to go with multifx. Why? Price, really. I can pick up a unit for the price of a good pedal. I I find that the unit leaves me a bit cold, I can sell it for pretty much what I paid for it and then buy a couple of pedals. Anyway, scored a Line6 XT Live bass version on eBay for a song. I'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
