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.
