Recomend me a active DI box?

[xANDREWLIFERx]

So im looking for a good active DI box since this might help my amp sim noise problems, my spending limit is 130 dollars hopefully i can find cheaper. Thank you for suggestions.

A CLASSIC ONE or try some passive from Radial, they are very trustable.

I just bought an Active ARTcessories one second hand from a small music shop for 20 dollars. It seems to sound really good. Don't really know what they go for brand new tho. This one seems like it is a little older.

used type 85

would it be better to buy a tone port or a DI ?
has anyone tried the Behringer DI100 Active Direct Box?

the di in the toneport isnt bad but its no where near something like the type 85. btw you should really be looking at the reamp sticky thread it explains all this in great detail

dish out an extra 20$ and get a brand new type 85 from rainbowguitars.com

I forgot to add im using active EMGs so the type 85 might not work

I have been using one of these and like it a lot:

It is the only one I know of in this price range that has a 1M Ohm impedance for passive pickups.

Since you are running active pickups, it doesn't matter nearly as much. Just get a decent passive one.
