Which DI box to record bass and guitars?

[BitchSlap]

Hi everybody,
I'd like to know which DI units you guys would recommend to record bass and guitars to be reamped later on ? Which ones are "pro-recommended" ?
What do you guys think about the "DI output" on the bass POD ?
And with a DI box, do you plug it straight into the soundcard input ?
What are some of the recommendations of use to get the best possible results for a mixing engineer to reamp later on?
I made a research but haven't found the answer
Thanks

I use eaither the HI-z on my Grace 101 or my Great River MP2NV. The Grace is clean and ver true to the source. The Great River can be dialed in for a multitude of sounds.

Thanks for your answer. What should I use to record DI while at the same time feeding an amp to record that as well ?

I use the "through" on my DI, it just mirrors the input through an output for routing to the amp.

A Tech 21 Sans amp perhaps?

Should give much more control over the tone as it is not just a DI box, but also a bass amp emulator.

yeah heard lots of good reviews of the bass driver

I highly recommend the Radial J48, especially if you're using active pickups.

When pondering this same question a while ago, I got myself a Tech21 SansAmp RB1 off ebay, and have since used it on every project. It's got a lot of input and output options, and there's also a knob that when set to one extreme is purely a DI signal, and when set to the other extreme is a purely SansAmp-ed signal. I've never had any trouble dialing in an appropriate tone.

I have a SansAmp bass driver and an SansAmp RBI. They do sound a bit different. But both cool pieces. I have a Radial J48 on order... can't wait.
