If you play bass, do yourself a favor and buy one of these; if you play keys, buy two! The thing is, there are DI boxes, and then there's the Radial J48 - all alone, and a class by itself. Seriously, DI boxes have a job to do - good ones get the job done, great ones get the job well, but the Radial J48 will actually make your tone sound better than ever before. This active DI box runs on regular old 48V phantom power, which it uses to keep up with even the most massive transient spikes and never choke out. That's right - hit J48 with the funkiest slap and pop action you can bust our or with the gnarliest lead in your rig, and you'll never starve the J48. Even 12-string acoustics can overwhelm this DI!
