+1 for the Pro DI (even cheaper used). With your extra few bucks, get a Shure inline pad to use in your "backwards DI as reamp" chain. It can be done, and the Radial site has info on using their passive DI's this way. Then you can start saving your next hundred bucks for the reamp version later on.
