Need to know about DI'ing/micing at the same time

[professorlamp]

Got a band in , in a couple of weeks and there gear is lets say inferior
anyways I'm using a profire 2626 and am wondering is there a way of me di'ing his guitar and micing it up without buying a splitter/di box or anyother things? I ONLY want to use the 2626.

I have a bad feeling ima have to fork out on a DI box

if you take care of it the 30$ samson S-direct plus works fine!

A DI like the Radial J48 has an input, output and thruput. Guitar into input, output to 2626, thruput to amplifier. Mic in front of amp, mic into 2626.

hmm i like the idea of paying £30 as opposed to £160
then again i could see actually using the radial alot more often

Just remember, you get what you pay for. The J48's active, clean and reliable.

What you could do is go straight into the Profire, and then out through a re-amp box into the amp.

Tbh you're better off using a DI though as you're not getting the AD&DA conversion that you would get through the Profire.

The Radial is pretty expensive over here but you could go for the BSS AR133 which is about £100 and is a VERY good di. Or for about £50ish there's the MTR DI-3.

Just remember, he who buys cheap, buys twice.

Im honestly liking the radial now, I'll look into the BSS one aswell
