What’s an Acoustic Guitar DI & 6 Best DI Pedals • Acoustic Tuesday 204

There are a lot of different DI pedals out there. But how do you know which one is best for your needs? Watch this video and I’ll tell you all about the 6 best acoustic guitar DIs, so that you can find the perfect one for your sound.

DI pedals are one of the more essential pedals for acoustic guitarists. A DI pedal allow you to capture the sound of your guitar and allow it to be processed on a soundboard. This allows a sound engineer or AV tech to change the balance on your guitar.

If you ever plan on playing live or playing through a PA, you’ll really need a DI. Because you can’t just plug your guitar straight into a soundboard, the DI allows your guitar to be processed through a soundboard.

Each of the acoustic guitar DIs featured in this episode have a slightly different sound. I’ll play the same guitar and run it through different DIs to allow you to hear how each DI captures the same guitar’s sound differently.

In addition to hearing my 6 favorite acoustic guitar DIs, you’ll hear about what it’s like to start a guitar journey. From imposter syndrome to creating expectations, you’ll hear how one TAC Family member overcame those negative thoughts to start their journey on the right step.

Last but not least, you’ll get my curated list of acoustic guitar news you can use.
