I need one on Sunday. It's really just for one day so I don't wanna buy one.

I am willing to pay a rental fee and leave a deposit as security if necessary. You will not be fucked over.

Thanks for your attention.
 
Just take a passive DI box and use the other way around (out as in / in as out). Works like a charm and does exactly what these special reamp boxes do.

No. This would not work because of the large level differences between a microphone level signal and a line level signal. On the direct box the instrument input is designed for instrument level signals (-20dbm) and the microphone out is designed to give a microphone level signal (-60dbm typical) using a direct box in reverse would put a +4dbm signal into a –60dbm output and would cause extreme signal distortion before you even plugged into the amp.

^ You can always adjust the level you are sending to the Di box in your DAW or with your interface' mixer. When I tried it I had no such trouble. It still isn't as good as a dedicated reamp box because the transformers used are not optimal for loz->hiz conversion so there's a bit of noise.

As for the reamp box why not buy one and return it :Saint: Though, it's probably too late now.
