FuNkShUi Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 So I play guitar in a acoustic duo. Recently been thinking about using electric guitar for a few numbers. Doesn't need to be loud, as I would like to DI from it into our PA. I know I could mic it, but wanted to see what small amps have a DI? Any recommendations? Or any advice? Thanks in advance
KK Jale Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 A secondhand [color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=4]Tech 21 Trademark 10 might do nicely. [/size][/font][/color]
RhysP Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Make sure it's got some kind of speaker simulation or it will sound sh*t.
FuNkShUi Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 The Tech 21 doesn't have a DI though does it? Rhys, I played through my dads Roland cube, and that sounded great. Would be ideal, but I'd prefer not to mic

It's on the underside of the chassis. They can go for under £100, as well. Edited January 3, 2016 by KK Jale
randythoades Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Why not just use a multi effects type thing with an amp sim on it like the Zoom G3 or Vox Tonelab. Just go straight into the PA. Easier to lug around too.
roman_sub Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hughes & Kettner Tubemeisters have "redbox" DI output, which also simulates the speaker..... sounds great! Also has built-in attenuator for quiet stage volume.... but unless you want to drive a cab onstage, a decent multi-FX / modeller should do the same job nicely, at lower cost + less gear-lugging.
leftybassman392 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Here's a thought. It's a bit different, but... [url="http://www.dvmark.it/?/products/59/dv_little_jazz"]http://www.dvmark.it/?/products/59/dv_little_jazz[/url] Made by the people who produce Markbass, and about the same size as a MicroMark. Plenty loud enough on it's own, but with a balanced line out just in case...

[/quote] I use a tubemiester 18 in my dual rig and I'm nothing but impressed. Three channels, built in hotplate and redbox. Great for rehearsing, recording and gigging. Even sounds good with bass!
ezbass Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Blackstar and Hughes and Kettner amps have a DI or line out, as does the Fender Super Champ.
BigRedX Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 H&K Red Box equipped amps are brilliant. I have a Tube 50 combo with one fitted. There is very little difference IMO between the DI output and the sound of the speaker mic'd up with an SM57.

FuNkShUi Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Thank you for the suggestions everyone. Im struggling to find any to try out, which seems to be my biggest issue here
