This would be interesting to hear views on.
Radial sell their reamping kit with the active J48 + X-Amp. I'm just wondering why this is? Why not the JDI + X-Amp? Or, at least have two variants where users can choose which DI they wish to have?
Obviously, I realise buying them separately allows flexibility. It would just be good to hear which users use which (active vs passive) DI for?
Is, for example:
A Passive DI good if you're running into good preamps with plenty of gain?
and
An Active DI good for adding strength to the signal for running into a not so great preamp with less available gain?
