I don't know what to make of the Di...

Line level passive Di with 1:1 transformer. Very odd from a so called bass amp manufacturer. Really only suitable for line level low to med impedance gear.

Thinking about it, it could be used for an active high output bass?

Is it just me or are these very uninspiring? The pedal world is way too competitive with incredible builders at all price points, these just look very generic

Uninspiring is a great quality in a DI.

I found DI George Gently very inspiring

I've been using Magnum DI for a couple of years now 🤦‍♂️ (great unit jokes aside)

When the best name your R&D team can come up with for your new overdrive pedal is, “overdrive”…. Hmmmm.

Each of the three £182 pedals (OD, comp, DI) can be found in the Transit B pedal (along with EQ and tuner) for considerably less money, especially second-hand

I can make a guess!

I’ve seen a trend in the US, especially in the worship band sector to use 1:1 line isolator DIs to put between their helix/anagram/quad cortex and the PA to give isolation - I think it’s the pinstripe audio one that’s the trendy one

It also costs more than the smaller RNDI ?!

More grown up than a knob joke which is what most "boutique" pedal makes seem to go for.

I only ever owned one pedal with a knob reference… I feel like I’m missing out!? Where are all the others??

Everything is a knob joke if you apply yourself
