Hello all, ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Be warned that I wouldn't be surprised if my questions may annoy some of the more experienced users here.![Lol :lol: :lol:](/data/assets/smilies/lol.gif)
The nature of my problem is that my guitar input tone directly plugged into my PreSonus Firestudio is dull and lacks brilliance.
Some of you in a previous thread had suggested I pick up a Countryman Type 85 to connect my guitar into before I run it into my Firestudio Mobile to potentially correct the problem and improve my tone (Potential Impedance factors?). As I also mentioned in the previous thread, a user from another forum posted a sample of what a typical input sound should sound like for user comparison before running the sound into virtual amps/impulses:

Is this (more or less) the kind of result you're all getting with your setups before running any effects?
This morning I stopped by the local music store and rented a DI BOX (Yorkville YDI-1A, low-end in comparison to the Countryman but bare with me for a moment) Below I've provided a sample of my tone with/without the DI and Amp Simulations:

The first riff is without DI Unit directly into the PreSonus. The second is into the DI Unit and then into the PreSonus.
Do you guys hear a significant difference? I have no doubts your recommendations for the Countryman are well established, but is it truly the solution I need? Because from what I can tell, the tone with/without a DI box is extremely similar and not bringing my tone any closer to the reference tone above. Is my problem another one entirely?![Cry :cry: :cry:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
