Eric Pederson · 6th February 2010

Dear fellow slutz,

-I am looking for a good DI box for electric guitar and bass, new or used for $130 or less. I'd also like to use it backwards as a Reamp interface (if thats possible?) but I think thats the passive DI box's job and neither here nor there.

-I already have a passive Horizon DI Box, it works ok but I play a Gibson SG and feel an active DI box might give me better sound?

-Should I get a stereo DI instead in case I need to record keyboards? Would an electric guitar be suitable to go into one side or are the stereo boxes only built for keyboard impedance?

Please give me your advice and favorites. Thank you
