DI boxes for DAWs

[southcoaststeve]

Hi all,

I'm exploring the possibility of running some analogue pedals into my audio interface and it was suggested in another thread that a DI box would be an ideal option.

Does anyone have any recommendations for boxes best suited for home recording purposes?

Thanks!

If the pedals are basically guitar modifiers and your Audio I/O has a ¼ Hi-z input, you'll be fine.

I'm using an Audient iD14.

And yes, they're fairly standard fx pedals - drives, delays, reverb etc.

Any pedal should be fine going into the instrument input. If you have a pedal with a buffer (many boss pedals) you can try any input. As an example, the boss DD-8 has a 1 meg ohm input and 1k ohm output. Boss pedals are normally bypass buffered, so you don't need to have the fx engaged to get the buffer. Turn the gain down if you use an input other than the instrument.

You can check the specs for boss pedals here -

Any DI box from a reputable manufacturer will do the job.
