I'm certain this is correct, besides, it's a very simple box, and all of the "tone" comes from the transformer, which has always been the same very nice Jensen transformer. Don't fret bro, they probably just changed the logo or something.

Yes it does. A DI's purpose is to change impedance, and it's passive, so it does the opposite in reverse. There are instructions in both the ProDI and the JDI Manual on using your DI in reverse as a reamp box. Mic level and line level are both low impedance, they are just a different level, which can be compensated for by bringing down your output fader, or using a pad like the dude said above.

I would buy a reamp box still, though, for the reasons I described in my post above.
