tonyquipment Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hey! In looking for a DI box with some line in facility /headphones ?? Anyone know of any good ones? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) This needs to be used in conjunction with a DI box, but for £15 it's a great headphone amp with line in: [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Behringer-MA400-Monitor-Headphone-Amplifier/GX7?origin=product-ads&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLA+Behringer&utm_content=SF59rWMS_pcrid_30009602839_plid__kword__match__"]http://www.gear4musi..._kword__match__[/url] Combine that with the Behringer BDI21 for the princely sum of £26 and you have an amp sim / DI: [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Behringer-BDI21-V-Tone-Bass-Preamp/6LV"]http://www.gear4musi...Bass-Preamp/6LV[/url] I had the headphone amp and can recommend it. Not tried the BDI21 but I have used the Sansamp BDDI which it's a clone of, and the Behringer gets solid reviews.

dannybuoy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) There is a Redsub DI-2000 pedal too that's fairly cheap but looks like it should be avoided: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202592-redsubhb-di-2000-bass-di-drive"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202592-redsubhb-di-2000-bass-di-drive[/url] Edited May 4, 2013 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquipment Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Great ! Thanks! I have an alesis io2 express. I think the BDI will go nicely with it! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Another vote for the BDI, its a bargain and sounds great. Use it to give my Shuttle some extra grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquipment Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Revisiting this ... The io2 doesn't work stand alone... I'm looking at line 6 pod... Is that any good??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 They are, but don't think they have a line in (certainly not the X3 and earlier models I was looking at) so you would still need a separate headphone amp if wanting to play along to backing tracks. If it's just for practice you could also check out the Korg Pandora range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquipment Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I had a look at the spec of a couple of older ones and they do but what they don't have is a gain or level knob to match the instrument but that doesn't really matter as you can turn the vol up or down on the aux source...

ordep Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I have a moen buffalo and i really like it. no aux line in option though. mainly made for guitars but also works well for basses. a great headphone amp too. sweepable mid control.
