Yesterday I made some tests with my DI-box and mixer, trying to find the best pathway..
Well..
I have a Behringer DI-Ultra100 and Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer (u jelly?)..
I found that the best pathway (the least unwanted noise) is connecting the DI straight into my soundcard..
With passive pick-ups, the signal is a bit hot, but never hit's red..
With active, the signal clips..
I can use the pads on the DI (2 x -20dB), but then I get to much noise..
What I need to do is just lower the volume by a few dB. I tried it with a extension cable I have, for headphones, that has a voulme control on it.. but.. the sound get's a bit muffled.. not much.. but I want a good signal..
And lowering the volume on the guitar takes off some highend..
Could I just get a potentiometer and solder onto a cable?
If so, I have no idea what value to choose..
Or maybe I could get some resistors for a fixed value?
Nope.. Can't afford a better DI..
