A reamp box is basically a passive DI box (transformer) in reverse, with the addition of a volume control.

If you use a passive DI box, you could use a guitar volume pedal to adjust the level. It's just a bit neater to have a purpose designed box.

I tend to agree with the comment that an amp doesn't care about impedance, only level. If you use a DI in reverse, or a reamp box, the amp will be presented with a hi-z source anyway. (Obviously only passive DI's can be reversed).

If your converter has a passive level control you could use that.
