THANK you, i really appreciate that, i mean it's not like i dont wanna buy the right one the first time, right!

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.

i should have been more specific - it doesnt change the impedance ENOUGH. the reason is for exactly what you said - having to compensate. and whoever said 50dB is right on, thats no exaggeration. to me that's a total fool's move, to leave it to chance that you might forget one time to do that, same way as everyone forgets to power down/up everything in the right order once in a while and then you get the grounding through your speakers. if the result of speaker grounding was 50dB of noise, we'd all never make that mistake. you're talking about a level that can destroy your gear, your ears, and your relations with the neighbors. better to just get the right box, as you said.
