AR133 for guitars?

[tgs]

I've been planning to put together a mobile recording rig for quite a while now, mainly for recording live performances, and we're getting closer to the finishing line. I have a question though that I'm hoping someone could answer.

I want to take DI signals from the guitars and bass. In the studio we use Radial J48 for this purpose, but getting 3 of those will set us back 600 euros or so. So I'm wondering if the BSS AR133 is a viable option? I use it all the time when I do FOH work, but I never tried it as guitar DI and I never really see it mentioned around here for that purpose either. At around half the price, I'd of course be delighted if it were something worthwhile.

Any opinions?

I've actually seen it mentioned around here (not many times, though) and the feedback was very good. You can also consider LA Audio DI2 (it's fugly, but does the job well).

Got a AR133 myself, works great. 1 Mohm input impedance and as you know it's used on stages round the world. Can't go wrong really.
